Daily Kos || Political Analysis and other daily rants on the state of the nation.

Interesting. The White House said that Bush fell off his bike because it had been raining a lot lately and the topsoil was loose. I read that and didn't think anything of it. After all, I don't want to focus on non-issues like spelling potato or pronouncing nuclear (too much, anyway), but this blogger raises an interesting question. According to his sources, the precipitation from Crawford, Texas for that time was pretty little. It rained almost 3 inches on May 13, and a touch on the 14th, but then no rain for the next 8 days until the President tumbled off his bike. Why lie about this? It is slightly embarrassing, but Kerry fell of his bike earlier too. It happens. Why lie?

Almost makes this administration look pathological about the lying. They lie even when they don't have to.
