More Mittens Mendacity


Our weekly feature (courtesy of Steve Benen) chronicling the lies pouring forth from the lie-hole of Willard "I Lie Therefore I Am" Romney. Our favorite this week is #19: "I'm not looking for a tax cut for the very wealthiest." Willard, that's not only exactly what you're looking for, it's what forms the core of your privileged being!

We also would like to highlight this from The Guardian's Michael Cohen, who Benen quotes in the linked piece:
"Granted, presidential candidates are no strangers to disingenuous or overstated claims; it's pretty much endemic to the business. But Romney is doing something very different and far more pernicious. Quite simply, the United States has never been witness to a presidential candidate, in modern American history, who lies as frequently, as flagrantly and as brazenly as Mitt Romney."

Well said.
