Rising Hegemon
Let this sum it up for you:
Jim Drinkard, an Associated Press (AP) editor who oversees the wire service’s fact-checking work, said, “We had to have a self-imposed Michele Bachmann quota in some of those debates.”
After the session, Drinkard said that there wasn’t an actual numerical quota on Bachmann at the AP. It’s just that if the AP had gone back and vetted all her claims that looked dicey, the result would “overload” the debate story.Truly a great achievement in both politics and journalism.
Hard to believe the Party that has perfected denying evolution, global warming, and scientific polling has taken fabrication to a delusional level.
Bachmann, by the way, is actually in an actual of battle for her seat this year against Democrat Jim Graves who to my knowledge lies no more than an average politician, perhaps even slightly less, feel free to donate in the name of far less crazy and a normal level of fabrication.

An author of bullshit in Asimovian proportions.
Unsportsmanlike conduct, 15 yards from the point of the foul, and loss of down.
It is the GOP's new defensive strategy. Overload the fact checkers with so much bullshit that they shut down and your core BS goes unchallenged.
In other words, Bachmann benefits from...what's the expression?
Oh, right: the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Would any Democratic candidate receive similar treatment? I doubt it.
Interesting, isn't it, that Our Media Elite believe that habitually telling enormous lies is NOT a story Americans would actually like to know.
may here congressional career be in a GRAVE.
You might have said "fiction" of Asimovian proportions. Asimov was not bullshit - he was a good guy.
