“A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions still tell me that’s true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not. As the Tower board reported, what began as a strategic opening to Iran deteriorated, in its implementation, into trading arms for hostages.” —St. Reagan
“The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa. —GW Bush
My son has been teaching university freshman composition during the last few years. At the beginning of each course, he cautions his students about plagerism. Plagerism can not only be grounds for failing the course, but must be reported to the university and can be grounds for expulsion or other disciplinary action. “If you can find it on the internet, I can, too. And I will.” And he does, almost every semester. Some students are so dumb that they think they will not get caught. Some politicians are so dumb they forget about videotape keeping all their lies in the public record.
Rand Paul—an inspiration to dumbest college freshmen everywhere.
It’s hard to keep your health insurance plan when the companies themselves cancel any plan that is remotely likable. If it’s not making enough for the shareholders (that is, if it pays off), it’s history.
It’s always been this way, but now it’s suddenly an outrage. An outrage, I tell you!
Even at the time, few noticed that Nixon’s speech was delivered at Disney World. Canadian DJ, Max Ferguson did and for his satiric “Looks at Today’s Headline” spot the next day had this: When You Wish Upon a Star plays softly in the background. [Nixon voice impression] “Ms Wood (yes they actually researched her name long before the 18 1/2 minute tape), I’d like to try this for emphasis.” Then followed various words of “I am not a crook” being emphasized. Finally, a high voice was heard over Nixon’s, “It’s getting longer! It’s getting longer!”
He didn’t say anything about imaginary WMDs and get thousands of people killed either. Had he just accredited, or footnoted his book, no problem. Of course, wondering why the TEA party stuff sounds so familiar, it might be ’cause Fred Koch, yes those boys daddy, was co-founder with Bob Welch of the John Birch Society. Everything old is new again, so Paul can be excused.

You’ll have to explain how that lie that was not a lie adversely affects millions of Americans. More like gotcha politics.

You beat me to it, though I guess we are stating the pathetically obvious.
