Mitt v. Truth


A number of people have pointed out that Mitt Romney is truth-challenged, so this won't be a ground breaking column. I'm still waiting for someone to point out how natural it is for him to lie lately-like when Wolf Blitzer started one of the debates by saying, "yes, Wolf is my real first name," to which Mitt replied, "well yes, Mitt is my real first name." Its not, though, its Willard.

Lately he's been making up stuff out of whole cloth, completely fact-free. And the press, in their new role as stenographers, generally won't challenge, although the Washington Post has examined some new claims and says they are at best, misleading, and at worst, lies. Greg Sargent wrote on this recently and I'll post a link when I can find it.

Having said all that, I ran across the above recent photo of Mitt, Willard or whatever being fitted with a brace designed to keep his nose from growing from all that fabricating. Lets hope it works.
