Gergen is out of his fucking mind.

[speedoo]

He says Cheney has always been honest. About what? Certainly not about Iraq. What are you talking about Gergen?

[Jackpine Radical]

1. Gergen thought Nixon was honest too.

[physioex]

2. Gergen can say intelligent things at times....

But the other half, he is just plain stupid...

[OldLeftieLawyer]

3. Gergen's a classic

Washington whore.

[physioex]

5. LOL.......

No doubt.....

[Mabus]

6. LOL

That's the same thing my husband and I say about each other. Either "intelligent mutterings" or the "mutterings of a fool".

[physioex]

9. Exactly right.......

I suppose if you open your mouth and talk, just by chance alone something intelligent might come out.

However I must admit nothing intelligent ever came out of Shrub in the past six years (perhaps longer)....

4. I don't trust his analysis anymore

for statements just such as this one. At one time I thought quite highly of this man, but no more.

[Wilms]

7. Gergen's right.

Cheney is always snarling, and that's pretty honest. No? :shrug:

[dchill]

8. Gergen exists in a world where "honest"...

is a truly relative concept. He's one of those "conservatives" whose stock-in-trade is his "reasonable demeanor" - which comes in handy when the right wing badly needs a seemingly rational defense of something that is indefensible.

In other words, he's a stealth hack.

[faithnotgreed]

10. i think youre pretty right-on with that analysis dchill

honesty is completely relative in politics and it surely isnt related to truth
