8 Years On, Still Struggling For The Truth

My buddy Will Bunch catches the White House sanitizing George Bush's remarks at his last press conference as "I generally mean what I say" becomes "I genuinely mean what I say" in the official transcript. Notes Will:
"An administration that struggled with the truth for eight years gets in one last distortion on its way out the door. To use the phrase made famous by the columnist Jimmy Breslin, beautiful."
