Secondary Veracity!

Secondary Virginity is a theological doctrine that states:

Your physical virginity may be lost, but virginity is more than just a physical state. It’s an attitude, a frame of mind. It’s manifested in the way you look at yourself and others.

Now, we all know that Bush is a godly man. He's told us so himself! So I'm guessing he's gone ahead and invented a new theological doctrine for himself and his friends: It's called Secondary Veracity and it goes like this:

You may have told a lie, but veracity is more than just telling the truth. It's an attitude, a frame of mind. Just think hard -- if you can imagine that someday your lie just might turn out to be true, then you've manifested Secondary Veracity!

And what a wonderful theology Secondary Veracity is! It can get us out of any trouble! For example:

Even today, the administration continued to suggest that the information about Iraq's activities in Africa might ultimately be proved correct. "What we have said is it should not have risen to the level of a presidential speech," Mr. Fleischer said. "People cannot conclude that the information was necessarily false."

You see? Even Ari can be saved! He has manifested Secondary Veracity!

Here is a simpler example:

Bush: It's raining!
You: You're a liar, it isn't! (since, knowing Bush, you looked out the window to check)
Bush: I'm not a liar! We might find some rain tomorrow, or the next day, or some other day!

Secondary Veracity!
