Our taxes pay for all these lies – put some effort into it! (WTF fun fact #3488)

“He’s absolutely right — this is insulting. This is insulting not just to Congress — this is insulting to the American people. Has everyone already forgotten what happens when we don’t ask for concrete evidence justifying a military attack against a Middle Eastern country whose name begins with ‘Ira’?” —Stephen Colbert

“Here’s the difference between 2003 and now — I weigh 30 more pounds. Here’s another one: Back then, George W. Bush respected us enough to put some effort into his lies, remember? [Imitating Bush] ‘Saddam Hussein has mobile weapons-labs that ride the rails made of aluminum tubes that can deliver 50,000 barrels of honey-mustard gas hidden on a turkey farm. Saddam will attack us with human-animal hybrids.’” —Stephen Colbert

“So before we give the president authority for more war in the Middle East, Colbert concluded, Americans must “demand better lies. Our taxes pay for all these lies – put some effort into it!” —Stephen Colbert

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic. 

A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
