his ignorance is so charming; can he seriously think that I, or anyone else, would believe his cock and bull story?
Or am I just being especially cynical today?
No, he’s lying. Much earlier I heard a story about someone voting the bill to the floor because he didn’t want Pelousy to have a say in it. They’ll keep coming up with different reasons until they find one they think people will believe.
We have an entire Congress full of practiced liars (lawyers). They don’t want responsibility and they don’t want to be blamed, so they give their authority to govern to others, to do in secret what they can deny knowledge of later.
Remember, it’s not their fault. They just voted for it.
