They will piss on your shoes and tell you it's raining.
And that is what has Bob Herbert all steamed up about the Republicans today.
The war in Iraq will be remembered as one of the greatest exercises in systematic governmental deceit in U.S. history. But the Iraq fiasco is just the most stunning and tragic example of a style of governing and politicking that has become second nature to the Bush administration and much of the national Republican establishment.Remember in November, if you want to keep your shoes dry.
This is a crowd that will tell you with a straight face that it is creating a wondrous new world in the Middle East, that it is doing what it can to stem the ominous tide of global warming, that the United States does not engage in torture, that the administration carefully guards the civil liberties of ordinary Americans, and that it does not favor the wealthy over poor and working people.
These are folks who will tell you that up is down, and punish you for insisting that up is up.
