Jim Holt’s critique on the difference between the liar and the bullshitter has forced us to revise a recent policy decision. Not to put too fine a point on it, Holt quotes a “subtle and useful” distinction offered by author Laura Penny that summarizes an essential theme of Harry Frankfurt’s current best seller “On Bullshit.” Namely this: “The liar still cares about the truth. The bullshitter is unburdened by such concerns.” Taking that distinction to heart and applying it to the current president of the United States, from here on in we will refer to him as the Bullshitter-in-Chief, not the Liar-in-Chief. We regret the error.
