As for Splick Robinson, well, don't even bother to hear the words. And then there's Whole-lotta-love Peston to make you think there's life at the end of the tunnel, because he's just so negative.Sen.

And there are those little blips where the truth slips in by default. Brown sounding off about the "bigot" while still wearing the mic., or Blair getting confronted by the angry woman outside the hospital, for example. A politician openly lying is news, after all.<br /><br />We may not be told the truth, but we are often told enough to know that people are habitually lying...Sam Vegahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05978971199859845931noreply@blogger.com
