Fact checkers’ descent into self-parody is finally complete. Glenn Kessler is now fact-checking “likely ‘facts'” for The Washington Post.
WTF is a "likely" fact? RT @GlennKesslerWP New #FactChecker : Previewing the likely "facts" in the acceptance speech of @MittRomney.

Likely. Facts. In a speech that’s still hours away.
Kessler’s not just a fact checker — he’s a veritable soothsayer!
What @GlennKesslerWP says is true, in the sense that facts are checked at the door before he writes a "report." #AndByReportiMeanPrediction

But hey, why wait for the speech when Kessler already knows what he’ll write?
@GlennKesslerWP you have got to be kidding me. 'PREVIEWING' the 'LIKELY' facts. Are you now a scrience fiction writer? Goodbye WASHPO.

The "fact-checkers" are previewing the "likely facts" in Mitt's speech tonight. Their panic is comedy gold.

Time for Kessler to trade in his Twitter handle for something a little more honest?
.@GlennKesslerWP I just checked, @GlennKesslerOFA is available. #justsayin #RNC2012

We like that suggestion. Or perhaps @GlennKesslerMMFA. We rate it “fake, but accurate.”
Up next:
.@GlennKesslerWP You should pre-factcheck the first year of the Romney administration.

Tomorrow, @GlennKesslerWP rates @BarackObama speech at next week's #DNC2012 as TRUE (and really awesome)! #tcot #FAIL
