> Well, **John** , here’s the thing: on the one hand, you got Rachel pretty much telling the truth. but repetitiously and with a “smirk” you find distasteful. On the other hand, you have “Mad Dog” Glen shrieking bald faced lies at the top of his lungs.

> Now, I suppose, to one who is relentlessly and mercilessly non-partisan, they are rather much the same: smirky truth, rabid lies. Those of us who’s reason is addled with partisanship see them as very, very different. Do forgive us, won’t you?
