Wisconsin: Scott Walker and the Truth are only the most casual of acquaintances - James Rowan blog

http://thepoliticalenvironment.blogspot.com/2011/11/proven-false-claim-by-walker-featured.html


There's not a lot of meat on this bone, but two statistics stick out like sore thumbs. And this from the right-leaning PolitiFact.




Walker had 39 statements vetted by PolitiFact in the last year, and 27 of them are rated as "Mostly False," "False," or "Pants on Fire," - - the most for any Wisconsin politician.

Furthermore, Walker has not been rated "Mostly True," or "True" by PolitiFact since May 8th, PolitiFact records show.





That's eight months without telling the truth. Probably not a record for Republican politicians, but a damned dismal performance for Governor Koch, er Walker.
