AP writer lists the "Whoppers" Palin told last night
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer
Wed Sep 3, 11:48 PM ET

1. Obviously, she will fit right in to Washington.
She can lie with the best of 'em.

4. Typical Republican strategy. Count on your base voters. You know the ones...
the ones who can't be bothered by facts.

10. I'm convinced--someone at the AP bludgeoned Ron Fournier to death
and replaced him with someone objective.

15. K&R and I'm recommending it on Yahoo also
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 11:57 AM by Overseas
because articles critical of conservatives are rather rare there.

Edited to say glad to hear it is an AP story on broad distribution too.

19. You can thank Jim Kuhnhenn:
James L. Kuhnhenn is a national political reporter at The Associated Press, specializing in the flow of campaign money and its use for campaign media. He moved to AP after nearly eight years with Knight-Ridder Newspapers, first as assistant news editor, than as national correspondent. Kuhnhenn also had a long career with The Kansas City Star from 1983 to 1998, culminating in assignment as Washington bureau chief. There, he was part of the reporting team that won the James K. Batten Civic Journalism award in 1996. Kuhnhenn has also received a Keystone Press Award. He majored in journalism with a minor in English at Pennsylvania State University, earning a Bachelor of Arts.
