Remember what I said about Bush's lies? How he actually means the very opposite of what he says? I couldn't possibly have been handed a better example than W's comments this week. Every fucking sentence is deceitful.
By the way, I'm blogging from Cape Coral, Fla this week.

"I am going to continue to remind our hemisphere that respect for property rights and human rights(see Abu Graib, secret rendition, W's torture legislation signing statement) is essential for all countries in order for there to be prosperity and peace. I'm going to remind our allies and friends in the neighborhood that the United States of America stands for justice;(secret detainees, no due process, Guantanomo) that when we see poverty, we care about it and we do something about it;(poor in U.S. have increased each year for the last 4 years) that we care for good -- we stand for good health care.(Christ)

I'm going to remind our people that meddling in other elections is -- to achieve a short-term objective is not in the interests of the neighborhood. . . . I want to remind people that the United States stands against corruption at all levels of government, that the United States is transparent.(gold plate that statement, can you fucking believe that one ?) The United States expects the same from other countries in the neighborhood, and we'll work toward them.

Thank you very much. I'm concerned -- let me just put it bluntly -- I'm concerned about the erosion of democracy in the countries you mentioned"(Yeah, me too W. there has been so much erosion in U.S. democracy over the last 6 years that I don't believe there is enough good soil left to grow anything on)
