They Can't All be Liars? Sorry Bob Dole, but Bob Dole was wrong when Bob Dole said such a Thing. Bob Dole should be ashamed of Bob Dole

Oh, lordy I love the long headers.

Alright Atrios links to Media Matters smack down of the only possible credible liar, Steve Gardner, being found to be a liar.

Naturally, the liar Gardner has been used by the Right Wing Bloviators (aka Known Liars) to be the thin reed upon which most of the Swifties' remaining lies are based. So the liars, last liar, relied upon by other liars, has lied the last lie.

To paraphrase Kerry (make sure you use the Boston Accent).

Who will be the last liar, to lie for a lie?

Well, maybe this guy.

Alfred French of the Clackamas County district attorney's office appears in the ad sponsored by the group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. In the spot, French says: "I served with John Kerry. ... He is lying about his record."

Before recording the ad, French signed an affidavit that said: "I am able to swear, as I do hereby swear, that all facts and statements contained in this affidavit are true and correct and within my personal knowledge and belief."

It goes on to say that "Kerry has wildly exaggerated and lied about his record in Vietnam" and that he received his Purple Heart medals "in the absence of hostile fire."

In an interview with The Oregonian newspaper last week, French said he relied on the accounts of three other veterans in making the statement about Kerry and did not personally witness the events. French did not return two messages left at his office Monday.

"As a senior assistant district attorney, you know as well as we do that that kind of ridiculous statement would never pass muster in a court of law," veteran Terry Kirsch said of French's account.


A lawyer claiming first-hand knowledge of a LIE, when he is, in fact, relying upon hearsay?

Oh, good, that reflects real smarts.
