combjelly,
Ok, I ask you, why did Dubya cliam that he never met, or got to know, Lay in the period before he was governor? Even though there aren't particularly good records, and even if there were, there are likely sealed, why lie about it? What harm would there have been in admitting that he got to know Lay well before he was governor? Unless, like so much of Dubya's life, he has this need to lie or inflate what actually happened?
I have no idea. I don't know any more than what you have just posted here. As far as lying, and lying for apparent no reason, my impression of GW Bush is that he is an honest guy, and I can't think of any lie from him that would be stuck in my memory.
As far as GWB knowing Lay before he claims he does, I don't know. If he were to start lying, my guess is that he would pick something more substantial to lie about.
but with his pattern of lying or covering up of almost everything, what choice do I have?
Pattern? One day, when you are not busy, maybe you should tell us about it. There should be a lot more meat on it that the "lie" about meeting Lay.
