Are rightwingers EVER capable of being honest?
Edited on Fri Jan-19-07 12:25 AM by Adenoid_Hynkel
So this hack columnist at the local wingnut paper keeps acting like he has a 'gotcha!' on Pelosi on the first 1000 hours thing. Even after having it pointed out that it's 'legislative hours' he won't let it drop and now acts like the term was invented as a CYA for Dems after somehow 'breaking' a promise to have the agenda passed in 4 days.

He's been beating this to death on his blog at the paper:
http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/

and now he's repeating this non-issue in print today in the form of a cutesy 'quiz.' Oh those Republicans and their clever humor!
"Nancy Pelosi is keeping her promise to pass her agenda in the first 100 hours of Congress:

A. By counting them in "legislative hours," only 17 of which passed in the first two weeks of Congress.

B. By having Barney Frank shout down any Republican speaker.

C. By having Harry Reid hold the votes so fast that Robert Byrd doesn't have time to cast a vote. (Reid will pay for that.)

D. All of the above. "

This is a guy who lazily parrtoted Malkin's claim that AP invented stories about Iraqi civillian deaths and now says he has nothing to apologize or correct himself for.

1. No.

The RW has based its entire current EXISTENCE on
a foundation of myths, distortions, half-truths,
and baldfaced LIES.

It is simply NOT POSSIBLE for a truthful person to
support them at this point, for the simple reason
that THE TRUTH does not support them at this point.

Therefore, all "RW hacks" are currently, by very definition
as such, dishonest people.

4. No is right. They are crazy as hell. I had a rabid customer call
me today going on and on about nothing - complaining to high hell. I just stayed silent and then the moran mentioned the local newspaper which he called a "left wing" and said something else about his ex wife who he called a "b*(tch"...

Ummmm...I don't get calls like this every day -- in fact, it's the only one I've ever gotten and it was from a dittohead. They are nuts.

2. They're all part of this smoke and mirrors game
played by the righties. They've gotta sell this whole angry, bitter rwing ideology to the masses.

3. More like, they are paid to be as dishonest as the RNC orders them to be.
