I propose the 'Romney Nose Mars Clock'
A countdown to when Romney's outright lies in this campaign will have his Pinocchio nose catch up with the Curiosity probe.
His first TV ad used an Obama quote that editied out the fact that Obama was himself quoting the McCain campaign staff. His "You Built This" theme is based on taking an X-Acto knife to extract one sentence with a grammatical glitch from a talk nearly indistinguishable from speeches Romney himself has given. The "they just send you your welfare check" ad folds, spindles,and mutilates facts in order to push the "welfare queen" hot button, and there's a host of lower level comments.
His entire campaign is based on horseshit. And you can bet hell take a tax deduction for that too. I bet he outsources too: those guys who used to put out the Soviet Pravda need jobs. That would also explain why his foreign policy guy still talks about the Soviet Union.
Simply calling him liarliarliar gets old, because it's politics' big surprise that a politician lies, right?
But the scale of it is ... well, comparable to Romney's money compared to everyone else.
So to better call attention to the naked, sustained, fogbank-of-steam-rising-off-a-mountain-of-bullshit lying, let's take a cue from the Doomsday Clock or the Debt Clock and have the Romney Nose Mars Clock:
How close is Romney's Pinocchio-nose to reaching Mars?
