Since When Does The Truth Matter In Washington D.C.?

So, now W is coming down on the side of honesty and integrity? The Culture of Corruption is so fitting a moniker for the W, Rove and Co legacy that it reaches deep inside the Whitehouse's highest level pockets to tickle just about everyone's privates:
Q Mr. President, can you tell us your reaction to the arrest of your former Domestic Policy Advisor, Claude Allen?

THE PRESIDENT: If the allegations are true, Claude Allen did not tell my Chief of Staff and legal counsel the truth, and that's deeply disappointing. If the allegations are true, something went wrong in Claude Allen's life, and that is really sad. When I heard the story last night I was shocked. And my first reaction was one of disappointment, deep disappointment that -- if it's true -- that we were not fully informed. But it was also one -- shortly thereafter, I felt really sad for the Allen family.
Ah, but disappointment, Mr. Bush, in your administration is not even half the sorry state the American people are in because of it.

"Mr. President, how do you respond to allegations that Mr. Allen was in the First Lady's box at the State of the Union speech?"

"We are having the people from South Dakota check into that. If Mr. Allen was in Laura's box...and should conception occur...well, that's just God's will. Mr. Allen will, of course, maintain full parental rights while in prison for shoplifting.
