Politics: Bush loses the moral high ground

Quick off-topic opinion post… You can’t turn on any of the news networks without hearing constantly about Legislative v. Executive. Regardless of your political orientation or personal opinion of George W. Bush and his administration, he has remained continuous on one point. Throughout his tenure, Bush has always attempted to assume the moral high ground. Yesterday, I was surprised to hear the restrictions being placed on White House personnel testifying before Congress. The no-transcript requirement seems somewhat logical to me. But the no-oath requirement flies in the face of Bush’s previous behavior. As a man of faith and character, George Bush is honor bound to tell the truth. Without an oath, he seems to be endorsing or at least allowing his administration to lie–it seems to me that Bush is folding is last card, the moral one.
