Which president told the biggest whoppers? You decide.

in fact one of the "lies" that is listed is clearly a joke by GW Bush.

I think I read a similar description at the Daily Howler but I still don't get it.

The quote in question:

During a visit to West Virginia in January 2002, Bush joked, "I've been to war. I've raised twins. If I had a choice, I'd rather go to war." During the Vietnam War, however, Bush served with the Air National Guard in Texas, and had specifically noted on his Air Force officers test that he did not wish to serve overseas.

Yes, he's joking, but it's still joking if he thinks he went to war. In fact, that's the only way it possibly makes any sense. Heh-heh-heh, raising children is more difficult than going to war. That's the "joke." The joke is not "hahaha, I didn't really go to war" or whatever. He's a liar. Or maybe it's funny because he DID have a choice, but chose to have twins and avoid war. Either way he's still a douchenozzle.
