Seat of His Pants

Hilzoy, on the untruth that Bush "gave up golf" in Aug 2003:

Did Bush consider giving up golf and then imagine that he had actually done it? Or did he just hear the question and decide that, yes, giving up golf "for the families" sounded like a good thing to pretend to have done?

I don't fucking care if he stops playing golf. He's free to leave the table and go play.
