The current administration are sociopaths, all sociopaths up and down the line. Except for the homicidal megalomaniacs, who, if sufficiently intelligent, get the top jobs. Why we are not having treason trials, I cannot understand.

George says, “Remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.”

I thought if you crossed your fingers behind your back it’s not a lie.

the litanny of things you brought up as to what they do, requires sociopathy… ie. no guilt… you find it hard because you have guilt, but if you did not have it, ie. your sociopathic, then what bothers you wont bother you.

A society in which such people are need by the ten of thousand or millions is too depraved to know the truth.

I think they consider they’ve got a fabulous job in the service of a wonderful president,…

People like these who are willing to promulgate lies in service of someone they think is the bees’ knees are otherwise known as cult members.

There’s an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry has to beat a lie-detector on whether or not he watches Melrose Place. He asks George how to do it.

George says, “Remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.”

I think that kind of ability is necessary for the job.

Neo’s analysis is thorough and insightful as only she, experienced in psychotherapy, seems to have done. I watch a lot of Fox News and use my remote to speed to what interests me, and so have watched a lot of these conferences. And, I have regularly wonder how they do it – mental gymnastics, as well as emotionally – shame or pride in making the best of a difficult situation. These two women don’t look very confident or happy, but perhaps that see themselves as actresses playing difficult roles. And, I also paid careful attention to how GW Bush expressed himself poorly, even though I agreed with what he was trying to say. I too, thought that Dana Perino and Tony Snow were excellent and did not betray their integrity.

I don’t agree with Nick. They can’t just memorize talking points; they have to try to be consistent with the contorted logic presented as press conferences go on.

Josh Earnest is extremely adept at deflecting or dodging questions with a straight face. He’s way more talented at lying with a straight face than the other two. Ms.Harf is a distant third.
