It has plenty of strong competition, but the biggest lie ever told is:
"There's no such thing as a stupid question."

Daryle Conners confirmed reading about it later, and I independently realized late Friday night that we were probably seeing a clip of a "photo opportunity." President Bush, Merkel and the other leaders didn't shake hands because they all shalen hands a couple minutes previously. The handshakers were those not at the earlier photo-op. I'm not even going to look it up, because it is absolutely clear this is what happened! We got sucked into the blog/web hysteria on this one like everyone else. We should have known immediately what the context actually was. But it did give the Bush haters a chance to vent one more time (their time is running very short). You should have read the comments section on the HuffPo post on this!
Once in a while a story is just so tantalizing, you run with it (as we did in the summer over the Palin baby rumors that whipped around the internet like a tornado). And why not? After all, we're not some respectable blog with paying customers and advertisers.
When we print something scandalous, we want it to be completely true, or fictional from the ground up. Speaking of which. . .how was The President taken into custody last night when he was supposed to be at G20?

Rick Sanchez says that Bush looks like "the most unpopular kid in high school that nobody liked."
Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is on the kitchen wall,
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Chopped it off when he was small.
She threw it over Germany,
It landed in the deep blue sea,
The fishes got out their dishes,
And had scallops and bollocks for tea.
Frankfurt has only one beer hall,
Stuttgart, die München all on call,
Munich, vee lift our tunich,
To show vee "Cherman" have no balls at all.
If this "tune" is anything like Sir Paul describes it, it will be a rock and roll treasure. Think Revolution No. 9 (a "song" I've always loved, and was stunned when I heard it in in 1968) to the Nth degree.
It sounds tantalizing. Maybe Revolution No. 9 in overdrive, "I said it would be great to put this on because it would show we were working with really avant-garde stuff," McCartney told Radio 4. 's According to the BBC, McCartney had wanted to include the track on The Beatles' Anthology compilations in the mid-1990s, but the rest of the band vetoed the idea. The rest of the band now includes Ringo and George Harrison and John Lennon's lawyers. Good luck with that, Macca!
