A Pathological Liar

by tristero

In a long discussion two nights ago with longtime Finnish friends, I tried to explain what makes Sarah Palin so exceedingly awful. “It’s not that she’s completely unqualified,” I said, adding, “And isn’t it incredible that’s not the worst thing about her?

“And it’s not that she is so far to the right she has direct ties to the Alaska secessionist movement. That, too, makes it simply unbelievable that she is a major party candidate.

“No,” I said. “The worst thing about Sarah Palin is that she is a pathological liar who, no matter what, cannot tell the truth.” And, sure enough, as fast as you can say, “Waterboarding isn’t torture if Bush says it isn’t,”a new Palin lie is uncovered.
