Lies and Lying Liars

A spate of columns in the MSM and blogosphere about the outright falsifications coming out of McCain-Palin (and their tenacious refusal to retract when called on them).

For me, Jared Bernstein in Huff Post nails it. Not moral outrage (though there's that), not our-guy-is-angelic, just this:

They're telling lies, and liars make fatal leaders.

Science fiction author John Scalzi also goes right to the heart of the matter: What does it mean when someone lies to you during a job interview?
