WHAT'S MISSING FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION? GUESS.

It's a bit odd: We can nail a President for lying about Watergate, catch one in the cross-hairs about his role in the Iran-Contra scandal, even impeach a sitting President for lying about an extramarital affair while in office, but we can't:

Impeach a President for using cherry-picked intelligence to start an illegal war. (But we couldn't--because he is a "war" President!)

Get one word of truth edge-wise out of the Republican Party for their actual roles in the Abramoff scandal. (Everything then was a liberal conspiracy to them.)

Get the former Secretary of Defense to at least acknowledge that Iraq was spiraling out of control. (This was fun!)

Get the current sitting (soon to be leaving), US attorney general to explain what was really going on within his department, instead of saying, "I don't know" 70+ times to every question levied by Congress! (Who the heck is running the Justice Department? Homer Simpson?)

So what makes it so hard to tell the truth for this administration and its party?

A few words which Bush promised he would bring if elected President in 2000: "Truth, Honesty, and Accountability."

Can you guess what's really been missing these last six years? I can!
