Good article. Coincidentally, I was just sent a link to an article in the Guardian talking about bullshit in politics - a book published in 2005 based on a lecture given 20 years previously, it is spot on for politics in our times. The article's called "Here’s the essential skill for assessing our politics: knowing the difference between lies and bullshit" by Aditya Chakrabortty. It's on the guardian.com website and worth a read.
