Video clip: Bush is a big, fat liar

It's not as though we didn't already know it, but this video clip of Bush demonstrates just how arrogant the deceitful the guy is.

Among the words haunting George W. Bush these days are ones he delivered in April 2004, at a Buffalo, N.Y., appearance he made to talk up the U.S. Patriot Act.

When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so."

And how many years before making this statement did he approve wiretaps without court orders?
