2. LOL! Does anyone really believe the WH knows nothing about this? Really?

Who the fuck do they think they're kidding?

3. This would be in sharp contrast to the usual set of false facts this illiterate dispenses daily? n/t

[Sugar Smack]

4. As opposed to the fabricated facts. Oh, yep. We hear ya.

True facts. Here's one now: you're an asshole.

[LynzM]

5. Heh. Had the same thought....

"True facts" is redundant... am guessing that smirky has an awful lot of experience with "False facts" :grr:

[Sugar Smack]

9. Yes, yes. It's important we make that distinction.

You know, lest there's some confusion or miscommunication or something. :crazy:

[rateyes]

7. Isn't that sweet? "Interesting" to know...

the true facts. True fact #1, Dubya: You are a fucking idiot. Now, isn't that interesting to know?

[Kadie]

8. I thought he was the decider and he got to choose which facts where true or not?

11. "Tell me everything that's happened so far."

"Well, sir, first the Earth cooled, then the dinosaurs came. Then they died out and became America's oil. The rest you're familiar with."

Apologies to Mel Brooks.

[lame54]

13. Cheney probaly still has copies in his private collection...

14. "True Facts": 'True' is a philosophical word. 'Fact' is a logical one.

Interesting combination of words from a man who wouldn't know what either is...

[DS1]

15. It's threads like these that make me pissed off about the writers' strike

because The Daily Show should have had a field day with the last few weeks.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

16. Then there is the redunancy

in this statement. In order to be a fact, it must be true. Therefore we want to know the facts, George, because if they are facts, they are already true................ :shrug:
