Friday's Lie of the Day

On the stump, Sarah Palin likes to say that she cut her own salary as Mayor of Wasilla. Turns out not to be quite true, though like many of her lies, it does contain a grain of truth.

Greg Sargent writes:
"As I reported here yesterday, however, local Alaska press clippings seemed to show that this is only true in a very narrow sense.

The clippings indicate that while she did pass a pay-cut ordinance upon taking office, her pay actually went up during her overall tenure."

If Sarah Palin told me water is wet, I'd have to turn on the sink to make sure it still is.
