Sansa-Whoosy-Whatsit?

Noy Thrupkaew argues that once you start lying to the public, you can't very well stop. Not that it'll help Bush win in November:

A little advice for the Bush administration: Don’t lie to us. That’s the one thing, guaranteed, that will bite you in your golf-pants– and Sansabelt-clad behinds. The American public really hates a prevaricator. While we know that thing about George Washington and the cherry tree isn’t strictly true, that’s a lie about lying that we like, a little piece of apocryphal mythology that, you know, holds up the illusion of a transparent and inclusive democracy.

Er, what's a Sansabelt? Is that like Sunbelt (a swing-state thing)?
