Well, he's always told the truth before...
Here's A.P. on a recent pronouncement from Honest George:
"I will nominate someone based on a litmus test but no one should criticize the nominee on those grounds."
It's fun once you know the code.
Bush: abortion won't decide court nomineeTranslation:
President Bush...said Wednesday he will not select a Supreme Court nominee based on his or her views on abortion or other hot-button political issues.
He urged senators to act "in a dignified way" in what is expected to be a contentious battle over confirming his first nominee to the nation's highest court.
The president said that as he reviews candidates to replace [O'Connor], "I'll try to assess their character, their interests."
Bush said he would have no "litmus test" that disqualifies candidates because of their opinions on abortion and gay marriage.
"I'll pick people who, one, can do the job, and people who are honest, people who are bright and people who will strictly interpret the Constitution and not use the bench to legislate from," Bush said.
"I will nominate someone based on a litmus test but no one should criticize the nominee on those grounds."
It's fun once you know the code.

How is it that there is ANYONE out there who still believes a single word that drops from that criminal's mouth? I just don't get it. Remember that annual Peanuts cartoon where Lucy snatches the ball away just as Charlie Brown's about to kick? Hellloooo, collaborationist dems??????
It will be pretty clear what the truth is when we see who he offers up. Sure, he says there is not "litmus test... He just sounds so presidential this way. The translation I offer is: My staff will do all the litmus tests so that I don't have to be responsible for it. Give me a break.
