"Further, I've always told y'all the truth!

True, my every statement about Iraq has been a bouncer, a canard, a cock-and-bull story, a falsehood, a falsity, a fib, an inveracity, a misrepresentation, a misstatement, a prevarication, a rapper and a whopper, a story, a tale, a taradiddle, an untruism, and an untruth. And my actions can accurately be described as ripe with deceitfulness, dishonesty, distortion, fraudulence, inaccuracy, mendacity; I've told fables, flams, and created myths; I'm guilty of falsification, forgery, libel, perjury; I've told you fish stories and given you an outrageous song and dance. My public statements on most subjects can justifiably be described by the idiom a "crock of shit".

But other than that, I've always told the truth!"

--GW Bush, reading the noun entry in the thesaurus he keeps by his bedside.
