Bush Didn't Have to Lie about Treasury Secretary. Why Did He?
On May 25, in response to a press conference question, Bush said Treasury Secretary John Snow had not given him any indication he was leaving office.
But in fact, on that date, Snow had already resigned, and his replacement had already accepted the job.
Why did Bush lie about it? The truth would have been OK. For quite a while now, it has been common knowledge inside the Beltway and in the financial markets that Snow would be leaving sometime soon.
Does Bush have such contempt for the media or for the American people, that he would prefer to lie, even when telling the truth would serve him just as well?
America deserves better.
