Anything? OK, Why Are You Lying?


Rethug Presidential hopeful Willard/Flip/Mousse/Mitt Romney is trying to 'splain his statement that he saw his father, George Romney, march with Martin Luther King in Grosse Pointe, Michigan in the 1960s. It turns out that it never happened. It seems that with Willard, "saw" is a relative term: "I 'saw' him in the figurative sense," he explained, "The term 'saw' includes being aware of - - in the terms I've described."

OK, Willard, we think we understand the drill. We saw you lying through your teeth - - in the figurative sense - - in claiming that your father marched with Dr. King.

Now ask him anything again.
