Is it pathological?

Daily Kos catches the Bush team in another lie - this time, about why Bush did a face plant while out on a bicycle ride.

In short, when asked why Bush fell, White House spin control droid Trent Duffy said: "It's been raining a lot and the topsoil is loose."

There hasn't been significant rain in Crawford TX in 10 days.

It's so stupid and trivial, that on the one hand, you might think, 'Who cares?'. On the other hand, why would you lie about something so trivial, and so easy to catch as a lie, unless you have no respect whatsoever for the truth?

I know there's a war on and that there's a lot more to get upset about in this country than why our presidnet fell off his bicycle. But this is symptomatic of the crisis our country is in. If you can't trust the White House Press Office to tell the truth about something so trivial as this, how can you trust them about anything they say?
