It's that time of the month again, and as customary we want to acknowledge the
biggest liar of the month with the Pinochhio award, and the dumbest politician
with the Golden Turkey. One award winner was a breeze to select. The other faced
plenty of stiff competition.
But in the end, an oustanding candidate in both columns clearly deserved both
awards. The Pinochhio kudo goes to the princess of prevaricators. your favorite
feminine fibber and mine, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). She claimed
in a much ballyhooed press conference that the CIA had misled her about when and
if waterboarding was being used. Ah, but the CIA keeps briefing notes (CYA, and
now you understand why). The notes prove the lie. Waterboarding HER might flush
out the truth. It MUST be hiding in there somewhere.
Then, to make matters worse, she suggested that not only were they misleading
then, but also lying now about what they told her. While there is a kind of delicious
irony in the Democratic Speaker, third in line of succession to the presidency,
calling the CIA Director, also a Democrat, and the appointee of a newly elected
Democratic President, a liar, her actions are asinine, transparent and slanderous
and most certainly unproveable. The wicked witch of California has once again
proven herself a contemptible toad, and richly deserves to be labeled the Golden
Turkey for the month. Heck, at the rate she's going she may get her name
permanently engraved on the darn thing!
