"You know, the only people who are trying to make anything out of that, to be honest with you, are Rush Limbaugh and a few people on the right,"

Whenever, I hear anybody say "to be honest with you", I know what follows will be less than honest.

And who's surprised that only people on the right are making anything of his statements?

I guess we should count our blessing to have brothers John and Howard out front?

Whenever, I hear anybody say "to be honest with you", I know what follows will be less than honest.

"Whenever, I hear anybody say "to be honest with you", I know what follows will be less than honest."

I once had an acquaintance who was a true pathological lier.
He was constantly starting topics with "To be honest...",
or, "I kid you not".

Kind of like, "With all do respect!"
