No, but someone complained that a person was essentially being untruthful in criticizing the Bush Administration of being untruthful, and that therefore they were, apparently equivalent in being untruthful. My point is, if I am untruthful here on this list, that has relatively little consequence. When the Bush Administration is untruthful, it can - and does - have serious consequences. Any attempt to portray both untruthfulnesses as even remotely equivalent is, to me, cutting the Bush Administration enormous slack that it does not deserve.
