What's Wrong W/ Our Politics? Stupid Rules

The truth about lies is suppressed, by the very institution charged w/oversight.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in The New York Times:

“It was stunning to hear such a statement made on the floor of the House when the president of the United States was speaking,” she said, noting that it was against House rules for one member to say on the floor to another that he or she was “not telling the truth,” let alone lying.

Mrs. Pelosi, tear down that rule, & let the Congreƒs tell the truth about something, for once!

Also to be noted, from the same NYT blog, Congressman Wilson lies again.

Reporters had asked him today at the Capitol about a Tweet item he had written on Tuesday, when he suggested that he was ready to be confrontational with the president: he said that during a parade he had attended in Chapin, “many people called out to oppose Obamacare which I assured them would be relayed tomorrow to DC.” But, still he asserted today, his outburst was not premeditated.

Oh, bullshit! Sell your crap somewhere else, Mr. Haney.

And here's bonus footage of Joe Wilson having a screeching fit when confronted w/ truth about other things.
