@CuffyMeh yep, looking into that….he said it many times.

Um, yes. He did. For years. And those silly Tea Party rubes knew it was a shameful lie all along. Way to be on the ball, WaPo!

@GlennKesslerWP thanks!

I appreciate 4 Pinocchios, but might I add "dumb as a wooden-brained boy" if you didn't think this would happen http://t.co/s6WnLZU0KE

Snicker.

And an exit question for WaPo:

4 Pinocchios for "You can keep your plan." Will they amend their choice for '09 Lie of the Year? http://t.co/F1YWokNSJM
