While Sarah took credit for the biggest fib of the year, let the record please indicate that this mistruth was inspired by Dave Weiss’s statement to reporters last November:
“My opponent is in favor of death panels. I stand before you holding today’s issue of The Times. I plan to read it and then use it to wipe up the coffee residue left on my mahogany coffee table. My opponent would have you believe that this copy of The Times should be recycled. I say REUSE, my tanned-faced children. REUSE, then reduce, then RECYLCE! He says the panels of my beloved Times should head straight to an untimely death. For shame. Vote Weiss in ‘08. God bless America!”
