LYING: IT'S IN THEIR DNA

Anyone who has seen Tony Snow lately can't help but notice his loss of hair and weight. He doesn't look good. That's understandable, since he's undergoing chemotherapy, which wreaks havoc on the body while working to kill the cancer cells.

But, in his resignation announcement, he claimed he was leaving simply because he needs to make more money. He made no mention of of the toll cancer and chemotherapy are taking upon his life and health.

It's probably true that he needs to make more money. Everybody does. But why in the hell can't he say that he needs to focus on his health, and getting well? So that he can be there for his family? Why can't he tell the truth?

Okay, that's a stupid question. He can't tell the truth because no one in this administration can. They lie. All the time. About everything: The reasons we went into Iraq. Torture. Secret prisons. Secret renditions. Warrantless wiretaps. Habeas Corpus. What they had for dinner last night. Their cholesterol count. Body counts.

You name it, they lie. It's in their nature. They can't help it. The only solution is for them to go away, which they are thankfully doing.
