White Lies (was Re: la revolution, version 100000)

[bautiste at uswest.net]

There must be some hidden truth to the notion that conservatives get worked
up about someone lying about their infidelities but not lies spoken in the
"national interest." Ollie North said a pack of lies and every conservative
from here to the east and west coasts would make him president. Is this
Freudian or would other hermeneutic bettwe explain it?
