HOW DARE YOU...speak the truth...

AMERICAblog:
The Chair of Republican National Committee, Robert M. "Mike" Duncan, just launched a full-scale attack on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. The funny thing is that the first line of the e-mail could be a fundraiser for Democrats:
On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) called President Bush "a liar" and a "part of the culture of corruption."
Both true.

Duncan's e-mail devolves into a rant from there. But you have to love the fact that the RNC is attacking Reid for doing something most Republican will never, ever do: Tell the truth.
Yeah. I object to...to this use of the truth. The president and White House have slipped from one lie to another for years now. Thankfully, the American people are becoming a bit more aware and savvy. Still the administration does lie, again and again. It is bad enough that the press corp shy away from calling them on it. We need the Congressional leadership to speak.

And, really, it always surprises me how much the media loathes to call out liars. I suppose allowing and passing on lies is a part of objectivity. Should have been a journalist. Maybe then that would make some sense.
