    The Mendacity of Hype is a work of fiction - ooooookkkkkkaaaaayyyyyyy! Padding your resume can get you fired at the company I work for.

    Your first attempt at parodying his book title wasn't clever. Repeated variations on the theme are even less so.

    That's how *I* want to collect credible information about potential presidential candidates.

    As X said, the comments there are interesting.

    Exactly. It's on the same level of woody's referring to Sen. Clinton as "Shrillary," which I'm sure Kimber wouldn't much like. In both cases, it's very junior-high.

    What do you think is more likely?

    a) this was a turn of phrase thought up by the person that posted it here, or

    b) it was read on a right-wing blog or came out of a radio speaker and was parroted here.
