"The analogy the interviewer used about medical care is invalid." No, it's not. Delingpole is just like dead people I know who treated their cancer with wheatgrass. Face it; the guy is an English major who writes fiction for people who are living in an alternate reality. "We have a president that is a very eloquent speaker and that does not validate what he is saying" Very true.. that's why he gets fact- checked. Sometimes fact-checking can be very revealing... a man dies, goes to heaven, stands before St. Peter, and see a huge wall of clocks. The man asks what all the clocks are for and St. Peter explains, "These are lie clocks. Everyone on earth has a lie clock. Every time a person lies, the clock hands move." Pointing to one, the man says, "Whose clock is that?" "That's Mother Teresa's," St. Peter answers. "The hands have never moved, indicating she never told a lie." "Incredible," the man responds. "And whose clock is that?" St. Peter responds, "That's Abraham Lincoln's. The hands moved twice telling us he told two lies in his entire life." "Where is Mitt Romney's clock?" the man asks. "Romney's clock is in Jesus' office," St. Peter says. "He's using it as a ceiling fan." It's obviously just a joke, but it reinforces an increasingly common observation about Romney's casual relationship with the truth. Consider, for example, the 40th installment of my weekly series, chronicling Mitt's mendacity.. maddowblog.msnbc.com Nearly 11 months after Greg Sargent's harmless suggestion, I've published 40 installments in this series, which, before today, featured 884 falsehoods. (If you include today's edition, the new total is 917 falsehoods for the year.) maddowblog.msnbc.com Not quite 917.. some are duplicated.
