George W Bush's whoppers!

I just started reading Michael Moore's "Dude Where's My Country" again. It is a fascinating book - and absolutely hilarious. I laugh out aloud at least once while reading every page of this book.

Moore became famous for his documentary "Roger and Me" when General Motors shut down their plant in Flint (Michigan) and moved the production overseas to reduce costs. His subsequent work - films and books - has been quite widely read, if not acclaimed, due to its controversial nature.

"Dude Where's My Country" takes off on Moore's favourite target - George W. Bush. Moore questions Bush's motivations, his relationship with the extended Bin Laden family, and his propensity to lie. There is an absolutely hilarious chapter on the Bush administration's lies, called the "Home of the Whopper". He lists 10 whoppers (lies) propagated by the Bush team, and every one of them had me in splits. One of them is about how the Republicans went after the French for their "treachery" in not supporting the Iraq war.

I found this funny video from the American comedian Bill Maher about the same topic - hatred for the French among the American political class.
