Jim Craig's Truthiness Problem
The newly-annointed choice of the Washington insiders seems to have a bit of a problem with telling the truth about his record.
Jim Craig is claiming that he voted for legislation to establish an executive branch ethics commission. In fact, Jim voted against such a proposal when some Democratic lobbyist friends screamed blue murder about some proposals contained in the legislation.
So, Jim says he voted for a bill when he actually voted against it.
I believe the word that comes to mind is "lying".
