One politician admits he lied and lied and lied
Unfortunately, it ain't Bush or Cheney.

"We lied throughout the past one and a half or two years," he said. "We lied in the morning, we lied in the evening and also at night."

(This is the Hungarian prime minister, secretly taped at a party meeting, a tape that was later leaked to the press, leading to widespread rioting. Of course he's not quitting. Bush et al have made lying respectable.)

1. yah, my girlfriend and i decided that from now on
the proper course of action (as defined by the * Admin) for anyone found lying would be as follows:

1. Admit to it without any remorse.
2. Explain that you did it for another persons protection.
3. Say that if you hadn't done it, the consequences could have been terrible.
4. State that you will not stop lying, but continue to do so as it is the only thing that will stop these terrible consequences from happening.

the Hungarian prime minister has used this strategy formulated by * to a T.

2. You forgot the part where you hand out medals
that way everyone will realize that the lies were state sanctioned.
