At suggestion of robo50, I'm posting this as a separate thread. (I hope this is OK with moderators.. .I agree with robo 50 that the Sullivan article is worth separate attention.) It is a great list, useful in its comprehensiveness, and in its links to actual facts.. .enjoy!

Title is perfect: "The Odd Lies of Sarah Palin: a Summary before the next Round"
The introduction. . .

On the eve of Palin's latest version of reality, the Dish offers a recap of all the demonstrable lies she has told in the public record. We reprint the list as a public service and invite readers to run the new "book" through exactly the same empirical wringer, so we can compile an up-to-date and comprehensive list of the fantasies, delusions, lies and non-facts that Palin is so pathologically and unalterably attached to. Remember: we are not including contested stories that we cannot prove definitively one way or another or the usual spin that politicians use, or even hypocrisy or shading of facts. We are merely including things she has said or written that can be definitively proven as untrue, by incontestable evidence in the public record.

Full list, with hyperlinks, at the url.(edited/updated to correct url, above: Thanks, cha, for noticing the link problem. . hopefully it's OK now)

2. And, she lied when she said she felt sorry

for Katie Couric and that's why she did the interview.

3. I dunno. First, the whirled revolves around Sarah

2nd) , the whirled revolves around sarah.
C. Sarah eclipses everything else in our 7,016 year old universe.
Four. She may really believe that Katie Couric has no self esteem, no confidence, and no ability, when compared to Sarah
(e) Right now, she may really feel sorry for Poor Ole Cathy. Kate. Kathleen. Whoever.

5. In $error's mind it

is the only whirl around her that has any meaning but as you may know she had a whole lie scenario layed out where the mccain people told her Katie had low self esteem so she needed to do the interview.

mccain's side is saying they told her to bone up for it and we know how that worked.

6. hey, ever see Sarah skin an elk to the bone?

She already knows everything about dressing, bones and deboning.

7. She was out boning a moose when

she should have been concentrating on what magazines she read.
