The Clinton Camp: Thirsty For Better Liars

You may recall Sen. Marco Rubio’s official Republican response to The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer’s State of the Union Address in February 2013 during which he dove for a water bottle to quench his thirst.  The video made it across the threshold of several news cycles and became fodder for the Democrat Party and late-night TV mockery.

The worm always has a way of turning.  Granny Clinton’s Ministry of Truth is burning the midnight oil since her “collapse”, but they’re going to need a shitload of better liars to overcome the alarming optics of her “medical episode”.

Democrat VP nominee Tim Kaine just said, "Hillary's energy level is staggering."

Flint Water Crisis Redux

You may recall last month,  Letter to the Editor, My Dead Tree Newspaper . The paper, to their credit, published it, and I gave it no more thought. Yesterday, not one, but two writers took exception with the facts as I presented them. So I sat down to document my sources, and the finished product was a little over two thousand characters larger than the maximum they would accept. After some meat-axe editing, I finally pared it down to size, but it was missing some of the flavor, detail and more truncated quotes that  I will try to reconstruct here.

Two writers have taken umbrage at my letter regarding the Flint water crisis. One said, "The local government did not cause the problem." And muttered about the lack of "safeguards in place". The other said my "assertion the city council of Flint was responsible for the water switch was in error." Error? I don't do errors! (Okay! I didn't say that!) What I had said in the original article was: "The decision to change water supplies to save money was the result of the Democrat controlled city council of Flint, deciding they could save money if they transitioned to a different supplier."

So many facts, so little time! I suppose we could start with the Flint city council Resolution 130165.2, passed March 25, 2013. Emergency manager Ed Kurtz, approved this, on resolution 2013EM041, four days later.

Rubio must have read that think piece about how he can't "do angry" this afternoon. #GOPDebate
