I submit this section as the biggest lie of the Russert/Bush interview...

------------------------------------------------

RUSSERT: But your base conservatives -- listen to Rush Limbaugh, the Heritage Foundation, CATO Institute -- they're all saying you're the biggest spender in American history.

BUSH: Well, they're wrong.

RUSSERT: Mr. President...

BUSH: If you look at the appropriations bills that were passed under my watch, in the last year of President Clinton, discretionary spending was up 15 percent, and ours have steadily declined.

--------------------------

Discretionary spending includes Defense and Homeland Security and he's claiming that Discretionary spending has continually gone down under his watch! Liar, Liar, pants on fire.
