HE CAN’T HIDE HIS LYIN’ EYES — by Steve Nadis
We all agree the presidential campaign goes on for too long, but it does provide time for us to get to know the candidates and one thing we’ve learned about Mitt Romney, the pious one, is that he is a pathological liar. He has said repeatedly on the campaign trail that he had seen his father, George Romney, march with Martin Luther King, Jr. Only it turns out he didn’t “see” that in the literal sense, only in the figurative sense. As quoted in the Boston Globe, Romney said “I saw him in the sense of being aware of his participation in that great effort.” Oh good, glad we cleared up that little misunderstanding, except for the little problem that his father never marched with Dr. King.
And how does he explain that other statement he made in the Boston Herald, some years back, about how “my father and I marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. through the streets of Detroit”? Does he mean “marched” in the figurative sense too, as in “being aware of my participation in that great effort”?

I’m having more email problems so this is just a test. But great post by the way!
I think that from now on, whenever Mitt makes a statement to a reporter, the reporter should follow up with “do you mean that literally, or some other way?”
That’s a great idea, TB. I wish they’d stop giving that rat a free pass. –Snake
p.s. which is better, a snake or a rat?
