President Bush 'Lies' On My Damn Channel

Harry Shearer's "935 Lies" World Premieres Today

NEW YORK, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- My Damn Channel World Premieres Harry Shearer's music video, "935 Lies" today (live at 4a pt / 7a et). The song is from Harry Shearer's forthcoming record "Songs of the Bushmen." See it here: http://www.mydamnchannel.com/Harry_Shearer/Music_Videos/935Lies_687.aspx

Harry Shearer is an actor, author, director, satirist, musician, radio host, playwright, multi-media artist and record label owner. His work is inside the heads of millions worldwide from The Simpsons, This is Spinal Tap, Le Show, and Saturday Night Live. Shearer plunged into the online universe to become a cornerstone of My Damn Channel. Each week, Shearer unveils a new political or pop culture satire on his own branded channel.

"935 Lies" is filmed in what looks like a corporate meeting held by the publishers of "Modern Liar" magazine. Shearer enumerates, with what looks like either pride or insensate rage, some of the almost one thousand falsehoods uttered by Bush Administration leaders that led us to war. Oddly, as he does so, he sings about other notable things that come in bunches of a thousand. And food is served.

According to The Center for Public Integrity, "President George W. Bush and seven of his administration's top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq." http://www.publicintegrity.org/WarCard/Default.aspx?source=home&context=overvi ew&id=945 (Due to length of URL, Please copy and paste link into browser.

Harry Shearer said, "If it just helps us all to be better liars in our own lives, this damn war will have been worth it."

Rob Barnett, founder & CEO of My Damn Channel said, "The most powerful force in the world is not a weapon or a nation but a truth ... that we are spiritual beings and that freedom is the soul's right to breathe." Barnett was quoting President George W. Bush.
