Lied about violet past
Lied about being robbed at a Popeyes
Lied about a West Point scholarship
What else would we find in a month or two of looking?

(111,169 posts)I've worked on a neurosurgical unit. I know the pressures the docs are under and it was worse for Carson, he operated on kids. There is more than sufficient reason to crack under the strain.
Telling easily debunked lies might be part of it. Oh, he'll still get the fundie vote, those folks have never cared too much about sticking to the truth. The question now is whether this is enough to tear that party apart at long last.

(3,233 posts)Remember Sandra Fluke?
"At Pelosis hearing, Fluke said her fellow students at Georgetown, a Jesuit university, pay as much as $1,000 a year for birth control because campus health plans do not include coverage of contraceptives for women.
What does that make her? Limbaugh said on his show Wednesday night. It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute.
She wants to be paid to have sex, Limbaugh continued. Shes having so much sex she cant afford the contraception.
