President Bush got away with so much during his first term. It took us liberals four years to see the pattern of dishonesty within which he and his staff operate. We now know better, and we routinely search for the ulterior motive and figure out what lies waiting inside any Trojan horse Bush presents to the public. He knows his agenda is unpalatable and detestable to the American public, whether it be privatization of Social Security, tax cuts for the wealthy or the war in Iraq. Therefore, he has no choice but to resort to lies and deceptions, always hiding his real agenda, to get his way.

The New York Times' Paul Krugman discusses Bush's pathological dishonesty in his column this week, and he makes his case a lot better than I've made mine, so I'll let you read about it here:
