Truth is the First Casualty. Logic is the Second. The Democratic Party is the Third.

RJ Eskow | Posted March 31, 2008 | Politics


RJ Eskow

Greg Saunders | Posted March 30, 2008 | Politics


Greg Saunders

I've been as outspoken as anyone over the last week in pointing out Hillary Clinton's dishonesty, but theWall Street Journal's glee over Clinton's emerging reputation as a serial exaggerator is incredibly disturbing :

Finally, the dishonesty is being unmasked. Finally, we see just how much we're being lied to when it comes to economic policy. Finally, we see it hasn't just been Hillary Clinton lying about her role in championing NAFTA, but we see it is the entire Clinton machine.
