I can't decide on who's the worst: Condi or Ed Gillespie. Their transparency is so obvious, from Condi's quavering voice/fluttering eyes, to Screw Nose's ever-increasing tempo, as if he's afraid to stop before someone calls him in mid-spew.

Smoothest?

I vote for Ari. Even though it was obvious, he did it with such unctuous aplomb that one had to admire his effrontery-laden panache.

Most lugubrious liar?

Easy......Mr. Spincter-eye: Richard Perle...nuff said

Most cheerfully demented? another easy one: Rumsfeld

Most delusionally sincere? Powell

Most annoyingly, insufferably smug? Bowtie boy Carlson

there are SO many others, as they all lie, almost all the time



you know they all lie, all the time

3. here's a good lie from a year ago....I got his in email.....forgot til now
The Republican 'big lie' machine has generated an utterly false email that they have launched onto the internet to mislead less politically aware voters about social security... here is the original GOP liemail and, below it, a rebuttal...

Q: Which party put a tax on Social Security?

A: The Democratic party. FALSE Ronald Reagan signed a bill taxing Social Security benefits. In the early 1980s the Social Security program faced a serious short-term financing crisis. President Reagan appointed a blue-ribbon panel, known as the Greenspan Commission, to study the financing issues and make recommendations for legislative changes.
The final bill, signed into law in 1983, made numerous changes in the Social Security and Medicare programs, including the taxation of Social Security benefits, the first coverage of Federal employees under Social Security and an increase in the retirement age in the next century (See www.ssa.gov/history/briefhistory3.html).
