This is pretty thin stuff. Boehner did not say he was there every day; he said “I and my Republican colleagues were here each and every day.” Claiming that he was lying is simply inaccurate.

TP seems to have this problem of resorting to cheap shots on a consistent basis. That headline from earlier this week that identified the new administrator of Fannie Mae as McCain’s national finance chairman was eye-catching–and would have been accurate if it weren’t for the fact that he was McCain’s chairman in 2000.

This sort of cutesy playing with the facts does a disservice to TP’s readers and its politics. You can do better.

Why are we wasting so much valuable land and resources maintaining all these courses when we could be developing and drilling them?

Bawlin’ John Boehner is an avid golfer. His moto is, if you don’t cheat at golf then you are not really playing golf. He was a golfer even before he was a politician – maybe the cheating part was already part of his nature.

Was the Palin baby sedated by the GOP for the convention?

While you all were out, I and my Republican colleagues were here each and every day – Boehner

Sorry, but I just reread that line, & it’s worth repeating: Republicans do not know how to be honest. This liar wasn’t there, and he knows he wasn’t there, yet he says he was. They’re either blatant, pathological liars, or mentally delusional. I’m so sick of their dishonesty. All Americans should be. Republicans have made lying a family value. Sad.

Republicans do not know how to tell the truth. They’re pathetic, and what disgusting role models.

Even if US production were to increase dramatically, (five to seven years from now) OPEC would just reduce their output accordingly. Oil is down to $102 a barrel today and OPEC is talking about having emergency meetings. “Drill here, drill now” will never result in “pay less”.

Maybe its time to invoke the oath as in a trial when politicians take to the Senate floor. I can’t believe we live in a day where a drunk like Boehner can run around lying and will most likely never be asked by a politican why he did this.

It isn’t that Boehner lies and exaggerates. That’s a given, and he certainly isn’t unique.

It’s that he is claiming (falsely) that he participated in this ridiculous stunt, which is the same as claiming he’s an idiot.

Playing golf instead of pandering to the stupid actually showed some sense.

But the GOP is in such deep doo-doo for this election after eight years of Bushco that all they have left is loud chest-beating on the issue of drilling. Or, more accurately, handing yet more goodies to Big Oil.

Kind of pathetic when you look at them.
