Sandy Berger is another one who told the truth when he said he didn’t know how those classified documents made their way to his socks. Now everyone knows that is the truth because he is a friend and confidant of Willy Boy and Willy Boy wouldn’t stand for a liberal not telling the truth. Somehow, those dastardly pieces of paper made their way into his socks, and when he took off his socks at home, there they were, much to his surprise. And to show those pieces of paper how much he disliked their behavior, he destroyed them. How’s that for punishment? They’ll never jump in anybody’s socks again.

Then there is Harry Reid, the minority leader in the Senate and erstwhile paragon of virtue. To hear him tell it, he isn’t anything close to a former model of virtue. Those land deals were on the up and up and why he didn’t need to do the ethics reports required since money wasn’t exchanged for anything. And his making over a million dollars was out of the kindness of his business partner’s heart. And of course, he could pay his help with campaign money since they were performing much needed services even though they worked for him in his private living quarters. I don’t know why anyone would doubt Mr. Honorable in all respects, Harry Reid. He says it is true that he didn’t do anything wrong, so since he says so it must be true.

Now arrives Hillary you know who, Willy Boy’s alter ego or other ego or whatever she is to him. She said for years that she was named after the famous mountain climber, Sir Edmund Hillary. No tricky feat since she was born six years before the world knew of his feat, when he became the first man to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. She admitted she wasn’t named after him but rather claimed her mother had read about the unknown beekeeper, liked the name, and now we know the rest of the story. And we know that’s the truth because we know Billy Boy’s Hillary wouldn’t lie, ever, fingers crossed, and hope to die. She believed Her Billy Boy, so why should we not believe her? Uhm ... well ... yes.

And everyone knows that Honest John Kerry always tells the truth when he is for something that later he is against even though he might be for it if the political winds are favorable. And don’t you dare try to catch him in a lie. He can’t remember from one time to the next what he was for or was against even when he was for it, so how can anyone have the audacity to believe he isn’t telling the truth when he is for what he is against ... or is that against what he is for? Whatever, it is the truth because he says it is and so do his followers. Well, not all his followers. There are some who follow him around hollering, “Liar liar, pants on fire.” He says that is a lie. His pants aren’t on fire ... but ... he has been on the hot seat so that might not be true.

Now we know that liberal Democrats always tell the truth even though it appears that their understanding of the truth may be akin to Billy Boy trying to explain the meaning of is.

The character Edith Ann, played by Lily Tomlin, on the very funny Laugh-In Show from 1968 to 1973 comes to mind. In Sorting It Out, the liberals expect us to believe they don’t lie and they grow indignant when we don’t believe them and the immortal words of Edith Ann speak volumes, “And that’s the truth.”  Pfffft!
