You lie
=======

September 21, 2009 - "I am moved by fancies that are curled Around these images and cling: The notion of some infinitely gentle Infinitely suffering thing."

By this time most people know that Joe Wilson, congressman from South Carolina, shouted “You lie!” during President Obama’s speech to congress on September 9.

And most people know that our president was, in fact, lying.

Neither of those facts is the subject of this column – I swear – but they are germane, and the ugly way that Joe Wilson and Barack Obama combined to sully the honor and dignity of the nation that Wednesday evening is why this column begins with a verse from T.S. Eliot's "Preludes."

It’s depressing to watch the utter lack of morality of our political leadership, and the “infinitely suffering thing” in my mind is our democratic republic.
