It's carefully chosen word - "knowingly" - is simply a weaselly way to lie and be able to say you aren't lying. The whole g.d. bunch of them are inveterate liars, incapable of telling the truth, because truth-telling is so foreign to their thought process. They are always guilty. They must lie as first response to any question; because anyone who asks them a question is suspect. A threat. Perino’s explanation is lame.

Either George Bush is in fact a liar who knowingly deceived both Scott and now her, or George Bush is a complete dumbass who clearly has no idea what has happened, or is happening in his own administration. He seems to be taking his cues from Daddy who swore to the Iran-contra investigators that although he was in the room (while Ronny slept) when the conspiracy to violate various constitutional and federal restrictions were being discussed, he didn't hear anything because he wasn't paying attention (and you will never find any of his notes to prove otherwise--"damn, why didn't we burn Caspar's?". Bush not paying attention and then lying about being inattentive, or Bush lying about complicity and blaming it on being a dumbass. Dana maybe saying more than we give her credit for.
