Lying Liars

Here are some lies and the lying liars who tell them:

Lying Liar	Sample Lie
Al Franken	Dear Attorney General Ashcroft, "I am currently a Fellow at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, where I am working on a book about abstinence programs in our public schools..."
Molly Ivins	"Not to wish ill on Wolfowitz, but he is the one who promised us this war would be 'a cakewalk'"
Robert Scheer	"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he had 'bulletproof evidence' that Iraq was behind the Sept. 11 attacks"
Eric Alterman	"in 1983 ... the number of companies that controlled the information flow to the rest of us -- the potential employment pool for jounalists -- was fifty. Today we are down to six"
Noam Chomsky	Q: Where is the 'silent genocide' you predicted would happen in Afghanistan if the US intervened there in 2001?" Chomsky:"That is an interesting fabrication, which gives a good deal of insight into the prevailing moral and intellectual culture. First, the facts : I predicted nothing"
Michael Moore	"So you don't think our kids say to themselves, 'Well, gee, Dad goes off to the factory every day, and he builds missiles, he builds weapons of mass destruction. What's the difference between that mass destruction and the mass destruction over at Columbine High School?'"
Paul Krugman	"The Bushies are different. They just plain lie. They just plain say, "Here's our tax cut; it goes mostly to the working class." "
Maureen Dowd	"President Bush said last week. 'That group of terrorists who attacked our country is slowly but surely being decimated... They're not a problem anymore.'"
