Bush not the only liar

There have been few presidents who have not made untrue statements (and certainly none in recent history), sometimes for "the greater good," more often for political reasons.

I assume that Pat Bagley's April 25 disrespectful drawing about the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum — labeling it "Bush Lie-bury" — alluded to the matter of weapons of mass destruction that led us into our on-going wars with the Muslims.

Nevertheless, I found the label ironic, since also at the speaking at the Dallas dedication were arguably the two most prolific truth-twisting presidents to occupy the White House in the past 60 years.
