In his gushing account of U.S. President George W. Bush, former presidential speechwriter David Frum tells us that his boss "scorned the petty untruths of the politician." We learn, for example, that when asked to prepare a radio broadcast for the following day, he would begin reading, "Today I am in California" and quickly break off, saying with exasperation, "But I'm not in California." Frum thought this a bit pedantic, but concluded that it was emblematic of the president's character and that "the country could trust the Bush administration not to cheat and not to lie."
How wrong Frum now seems.
