The Romney campaign is just coming up with gaffe after gaffe after lie after gaffe after lie at such an incredible pace that the press cannot actually be blamed for not giving significant attention to them all.
A Man of Questionable Veracity
A quick perusal of today’s headlines, quickly following the Republican convention which included such gems as the booing of the Puerto Rican delegate, the throwing of peanuts at a camera woman, and Clint Eastwood’s poor attempt at comedy, shows Mitt Romney callously telling a flood victim to go home and call for help, Mitt Romney accidentally referring to the United States of America, the country over which he would like to preside (which is what a president does), as a company, and another lie by Paul Ryan, in addition to the four or five that the Republicans seem to feel entitled to repeat over and over again (the work waiver, the gutting of medicare, the closing of the Janesville GM plant, and a couple of others) even though everybody else says they aren’t true.
Today’s little fib people might find rather innocent, a little white lie that can be overlooked. Ryan said in an interview last week that he ran a marathon in 2 hours 50 something. A pretty impressive athletic feat. It took me 6 hours the time I did it but, then, I suck. Anyway, those darned pesky fact checkers checked facts and found out that in his only marathon, he finished in just over 4 hours, which – to Ryan’s credit – is still not too shabby, but that’s not the point.
He’s not flyin’ Ryan. He’s just lyin’ Ryan.
