Dana Perino inadvertently spoke the truth on Bastille Day.

Q Dana, on another subject, is the White House disappointed that this lobbyist, Stephen Payne, is on a video tape suggesting that he can deliver high-level White House meetings, including with the Vice President, in exchange for big contributions to the Bush library?

MS. PERINO: I'd say there's categorically no link between any official business and the Bush library. Steve Payne was never an employee of the White House, but we do use hundreds of volunteers a year, as you know, for helping us do advance work. And of course I don't know all of the facts about that situation, but we certainly would not advocate for such behavior.

Q Same subject, please. Are there any written guidelines, is there any kind of an official firewall between the administration and the library?

MS. PERINO: I can check for you. I mean, I believe so, in terms of just practice of how we've been working here, but I'll have to check in terms of if there's anything written or that needed to be written. There's obviously many people who are working on the library, but none -- I don't know of anybody at the White House who has any dealings with it -- any particular dealings with the library, the development of the library, the foundation. I don't know of anybody here at the White House.

Q There's no liaison at all?

MS. PERINO: Not that -- well, liaison possibly, I think -- obviously because he'd have to do scheduling with the President and talk to the President, but I don't know of anybody in particular whose assignment it is to work on library issues in particular.

So it is only Bush himself that is pimping out the Oval Office. Stephen Payne now claims there's nothing illegal in demanding payments to meet with the President. Is that because Bush secretly passed some directive making bribery legal? How can Perino state that she would not condone behavior she doesn't know the details of?
