Baucus on the Senate Floor...WTH?

[guido911]

You should check out this website- it's pretty interesting and appears to be mostly non-partisan:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/

I would tend to trust it a bit more than a badly edited youtube video.

And my favorite, the biggest whopper of 2009, was this baby:


"The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." - Sarah Palin

Awarded the Lie Of The Year.

It looks like the "lie of the year" award is founded upon the pontifications of editors at Politifact, an arm of the St. Petersburg Times.

You trust them more than a "badly edited" youtube video of the president's own words? Speaks volumes.

Better not be dissin' on Gweed's Squeeze!

If she really was guido's squeeze, she would have quit him by now.

What was your reaction when you found out Rep. Sullivan had checked in to Betty Ford? 

That maybe Sullivan now had an excuse for being a third-rate politician.

Although having known a few boozers in my time on Earth, I've always found that the terms "high-functioning" and "alcoholic" were hardly mutually exclusive. Given that, I wish Sullivan well, but detoxed or not, it's increasingly clear that he's simply not very good at what he does.

He's to Congress to what JaMarcus Russell is to NFL quarterbacks.

Actually, it does speak volumes. If you bothered to look at the website, you would see that it is co-written by the St. Petersburg Times (6 time Pulitzer prize winner and largest daily paper in Florida) and Congressional Quartery, the nation's premier provider of news and analysis on Congress, politics and public policy and is widely recognized as one of the most fair, balanced and nonpartisan news organizations in America.

So yes, I do trust them more. Btw, I never disputed anything in your Obama youtube video. Some of it appears accurate, some of it is just petty and some of it remains to be seen. It's a campaign speech. Duh. Believe me, I'm still waiting to see if Obama will deliver on some of his promises. I do not believe the man is a saint.

What I do know: YouTube and Fox News are not reliable news sources.

Wow:



I did read the website, and stopped taking it seriously once I saw it citing Media Matters as if it were a legitimate news source.

Interesting that the linked story from Politifact cited to MSNBC and YouTube.

You are hilarious and seem to have a selective memory. I initially never said anything one way or the other about the petty Obama video you posted. In response, I posted a site where you could check out in more detail the apparent 'lies' that it claims. We were speaking about a certain lying woman I believe.......and then you switched gears. Remember??

Politifact uses many differing sources. Feel free to pick and choose the ones that suit your own purposes.

I am bored with you. You present nothing other than one side and are not interested in truth, only agenda.

No, we WERE talking about a drunken idiot rambling on the Senate floor and you thought it would be cute to take a shot at Sarah Palin. Look at the damned title of this thread for a reminder. Jeez, you're successful? At what?

As for me being one sided, lol!

According to a Danish newspaper, Obama is greater than Jesus Christ now.

Aw man, and there's a picture too.

I'm putting out a jihad for this insult

"Obama is, of course, greater than Jesus"

I think you put out a fatwa calling for jihad.

Oh Gweed, I still love the Gabby Johnson reference- what a classic movie.  Every time I watch that Baucus video I'm convinced he's channeling Gabby.

Of course Baucus denies he was intoxicated:
