Lying Liars

I know plenty of people who throw their arms up in the air and basically say something like, "All politicians lie. I never know who or what to believe. To hell with it; I'm not voting."

I'm often in line with this, as there are so many times when Candidate A says "Candidate B did this and said that," and Candidate B fires back later that day with a flat-out denial, punctuated by a, "It was actually Candidate A whose voting record would suggest such-n-such." It just goes back and forth and the whole thing makes you feel like more reliable information is available on TMZ.com.

And if politicians aren't lying with their words, don't think that means they're not full of shit. I just saw a clip on a local station of the hopeless Rudy Giuliani eating some corn flakes at a Florida diner, surrounded by photographers and of course, those hard-working, common-man voters. He flashed a big thumbs up as if to say, "My, these are sooooome corn flakes. If I wasn't campaigning, I'd still surely be here and I'd really be enjoying these people and especially this fine bowl of cereal." Good Lord, I'd ask when does it end, but for Giuliani, I'm afraid I already know.
