2. none of them are *good* at it
they're all completely transparent liars, but the one best able to baffle with bullshit is Greenspan IMHO.

6. Exactly. They all suck at it. Its like the Daily Show put it
To paraphrase:

"That's it? Just, bang, denail? Flat out lie? Come on! Where's the dodging of the truth, where's the debate? Where's the art?
Clinton was a liar, but he was amazing to watch. He was like the Michael Jordan of lying. He would take the truth and completely dominate it, but at the end of the game the truth is still asking for his autograph"

3. Rice, she gets away with most of her lies & she lies constantly!
Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 03:22 PM by LaPera
Not a word, not a single word, out of her mouth is ever the truth!

9. But Rice has an obvious "tell"
Her head bobs "No" when her mouth and brain are lying.

Rummy has the best shtick with his "golly gee"'s and circular logic. It fools the sheeple, but not us.

5. Rummy, by far.
He's not necessarily good at it, but he certainly tries the hardest to give the really, really good bullshit. :-)

11. As you know,
you go to press conferences with the lies you have, not the lies you might tell or wish to tell at a later time.

15. We know where the lies are.
They are to the north, south, east, and southwest, somewhat.

14. I think Rummy is the most entertaining to watch.
But Cheney is the best liar, if you didn't know better you would think Cheney believed everything he says.

21. Yes, very smooth.
And he gives the impression that he knows what he is talking about. Well I suppose he does know what he's talking about, the problem is most of it is lies.

17. Take your pick. Cheney, Rummy, Wolfie, Condi, Chimpy, Andy
Nothing they all end with the "e" sound.

Scotty, Ari are small potatoes. They just parrot what the Admin tells them to say.

22. agree it's cheney
After the VP debate I was awed by his skill at lying.

He will tell blatant lies, not sneaky ones that can't be checked, as though we are stupid enough not to check (he is in large part right).

A confident liar.
