Lie long enough and sooner or later you begin to believe your own lies.

June 28th will be remembered as the "turning point" in America's perception of Bush's motives for the war in Iraq.

August 15 will be remembered as the "tipping point" in America's perception of Bush's humanity. For on that day he became a Marie Antoinette clone -- using his own version of "Let them eat cake" -- when he said of his choosing strenuous exercise over talking to Cindy Sheehan, "I have to get on with my life."

Leading Republicans, such as Senator Chuck Hagel, have already found fraudulence in the party line, claiming that President Bush and his cheerleaders were "disconnected from reality." On August 3 he continued to offer nothing more than more of the same, prompting Sheehan to go to Crawford the following Saturday. He keeps saying our world is safer while his world continues to shrink. Now columnist Frank Rich writes "Someone tell the President the war's over."
