I've accumulated an excess of them, perhaps even a surfeit. You don't need to check out all of these.
Bush isn't the only Republican who is taking liberties with the truth. Arnold was "mistaken" about a few things in his speech. He said the Humphrey/Nixon debate made him a Republican. But there was no such debate! He also said he recalled Soviet tanks in the Austria of his youth. However, he grew up in the British zone of Austria and would have had to travel to see the Soviets. The impression he leaves you with is that he lived in the Soviet occupied zone.

Andrew Card, Bush's chief of staff, is quoted as saying of Bush that, “It struck me as I was speaking to people in Bangor, Maine, that this president sees America as we think about a 10-year-old child. I know as a parent I would sacrifice all for my children.” Charlie Pierce takes his rapier wit to this notion. There's some serious thought amongst the savage barbs here.
