I am used to the usual "intellectual honesty" line, having had it hurled at me many times by FADG's long time #1 poster. I find it ironic coming from any booster of W's war. If you can find any "intellectual honesty" in any of W's prewar posturing, let me know. Then there's the long post-"mission accomplished" history of "things are going really well in Iraq" PR campaigns, which mercifully seem to have become inoperative at this point. I imagine those all counted as "intellectual honesty" in W's world too.

Then there's the more general issue of lawyers lecturing on "intellectual honesty", which I judge would generally be greeted with a hoot by most of the population at large.
