I heard Joe Wilson has turret’s syndrome. So if this Hans fellow wrote any fairy tales about turret’s syndrome, then I gotta go with that one.

. According to Politifact.com, a nonpartisan site dedicated to fact-checking the claims of "candidates, elected officials, political parties, interest groups, pundits, talk show hosts," Obama wasn’t lying when he said the health-care reforms he’s proposing would not apply to illegal immigrants.
"Obama can make a pretty thorough case that reform doesn’t apply to those here illegally. We don’t find the public option argument enough to make the case that Obama ‘lied.’ We rate Wilson’s statement False."

I was thinking also of Dr. Suess and the turtle named Mack….
….""All mine!" Yertle cried. "Oh, the things I now rule!
I’m the king of a cow! And I’m the king of a mule!
I’m the king of a house! And, what’s more, beyond that
I’m the king of a blueberry bush and a cat!
I’m Yertle the Turtle! Oh, marvelous me!
For I am the ruler of all that I see!"
And all through the morning, he sat up there high
Saying over and over, "A great king am I!"
Until ‘long about noon. Then he heard a faint sigh.
"What’s that?" snapped the king
And he looked down the stack.
And he saw, at the bottom, a turtle named Mack.
Just a part of his throne. And this plain little turtle
Looked up and he said, "Beg your pardon, King Yertle.
I’ve pains in my back and my shoulders and knees.
How long must we stand here, Your Majesty, please?"
"SILENCE!" the King of the Turtles barked back.
"I’m king, and you’re only a turtle named Mack."
"You stay in your place while I sit here and rule.
I’m the king of a cow! And I’m the king of a mule!
I’m the king of a house! And a bush! And a cat!
But that isn’t all. I’ll do better than that!
My throne shall be higher!" his royal voice thundered,
"So pile up more turtles! I want ’bout two hundred!"
"Turtles! More turtles!" he bellowed and brayed.
And the turtles ‘way down in the pond were afraid.
They trembled. They shook. But they came. They obeyed.
From all over the pond, they came swimming by dozens.
Whole families of turtles, with uncles and cousins.
And all of them stepped on the head of poor Mack.
One after another, they climbed up the stack.
Then Yertle the Turtle was perched up so high,
He could see fourty miles from his throne in the sky!
"Hooray!" shouted Yertle. "I’m the king of the trees!
I’m king of the birds! And I’m king of the bees!
I’m king of the butterflies! King of the air!
Ah, me! What a throne! What a wonderful chair!
I’m Yertle the Turtle! Oh, marvelous me!
For I am the ruler of all that I see!"
Then again, from below, in the great heavy stack,
Came a groan from that plain little turtle named Mack.
"Your Majesty, please… I don’t like to complain,
But down here below, we are feeling great pain.
I know, up on top you are seeing great sights,
But down here at the bottom we, too, should have rights.
We turtles can’t stand it. Our shells will all crack!
Besides, we need food. We are starving!" groaned Mack.
"You hush up your mouth!" howled the mighty King Yertle.
"You’ve no right to talk to the world’s highest turtle.
I rule from the clouds! Over land! Over sea!
There’s nothing, no, NOTHING, that’s higher than me!"
But, while he was shouting, he saw with suprise
That the moon of the evening was starting to rise
Up over his head in the darkening skies.
"What’s THAT?" snorted Yertle. "Say, what IS that thing
That dares to be higher than Yertle the King?
I shall not allow it! I’ll go higher still!
I’ll build my throne higher! I can and I will!
I’ll call some more turtles. I’ll stack ‘em to heaven!
I need ’bout five thousand, six hundred and seven!"
But, as Yertle, the Turtle King, lifted his hand
And started to order and give the command,
That plain little turtle below in the stack,
That plain little turtle whose name was just Mack,
Decided he’d taken enough. And he had.
And that plain little lad got a bit mad.
And that plain little Mack did a plain little thing.
He burped!
And his burp shook the throne of the king!
And Yertle the Turtle, the king of the trees,
The king of the air and the birds and the bees,
The king of a house and a cow and a mule…
Well, that was the end of the Turtle King’s rule!
For Yertle, the King of all Sala-ma-Sond,
Fell off his high throne and fell Plunk! in the pond!
And today the great Yertle, that Marvelous he,
Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see.
And the turtles, of course… all the turtles are free
As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be."

did you read the politico article? they call joe a liar and go on to explain how the bill would not enable the govt to determine if a person was an illegal, thus making it impossible to prevent illegals from benifiting. They contridict their own jusdgement of Joe.

The Princess and the Pea
One day a man named Joe came into the Congress and out of the rain and claimed to be a Senator! The speaker of the house was not convinced, but the President said "Soon, we shall see…". He then hid the words "illegal alien" in a long, boring speech that quickly had everyone in the Congress asleep, because no one in congress can pay attention to anything for very long. They would have all been asleep already had they been reading something instead of being spoken too, when out of nowhere Joe shouted "You Lie!". The President then knew that Joe was a real senator, because he had detected two words he recognized amidst all the random pointless words he’d strung together, and had a lousy canned response prepared for just that occasion.
Joe received a little bit of bad press, and had to say he was sorry, and received enough money and benefits to live happily and worry free for ever after. The end.

The Emperor has no clothes!
But wait: "LE MAITRE," 1958 – "The Leader", by Eugene Ionesco, is even better. Worth reading. The clincher is on page 116. Available here: http://books.google.com/books?id=KuBfGpV wNMYC&pg=PA109-IA2&dq=The+Leader ++by+Eugene+Ionesco#v=onepage&q=& ;f=false
If all else fails and you get bored, go rent the DVD of Lucas’ masterpiece "THX 1138."
In a civilized society, TRUTH must always trump DECORUM.
