The mess Jay Inslee left in Washington's 1st Congressional District, timing his retirement so no one could fill his spot in a special election before November, is the subject of a New York Times article this morning. Interestingly, the article doesn't really say how this happened, or discuss Inslee's role in it.
It might make you feel proud of yourself to make up lies about me, but it doesn't make you look good.
Bryan Suits predicted two years ago, before the 2010 election that Inslee would run for governor, when he would not admit it at the time.

Pudge, how about a post on this story?
Posted by: Monterey on October 8, 2012 11:42 PMUmmm... No. Or at least, not in common use of the English language.
A lie is not merely an untruth. It is an untruth with the intent to deceive.
Your reckless flinging of the word lie at anyone who merely disagrees with you is precisely why you've become a verb, pudge. "Don't pudge me, bro!"
Posted by: Laszlo Toth, Jr. on October 12, 2012 04:19 AMYes, actually.
Or at least, not in common use of the English language.
False.
A lie is not merely an untruth. It is an untruth with the intent to deceive.
Not necessarily. It is also saying something with a reckless disregard for truth or falsity.
If I say you murdered someone last night, I do not know it is an "untruth." I know, however, that I have no way of knowing whether it's true, and that I say it with intent for people to believe it makes it a lie.
That's what tes did. They told a very clear lie.
