Bush's Christian speechwriter fails to recognize the importance of telling the truth in speeches.

It matters not how polished one's speaking ability is, after one has been caugh in several dozen huge lies, with even bigger consequesnces for this country and her people.

It matters not how many times the word God is used, if the name is used to distract from the evil that is really going on in this administration.
