1. Stop Making Sense
Rummy qualifies as a "talking head", doesn't he?

From "Cross-Eyed and Painless" Talking Heads

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

7. Sometimes I think he
says shit like this to infuriate and confuse those asking questions.

Like when pressed for answers regarding one of the many Reagan era scandals The Gipper said: "facts are stupid things". He then "apologized" after one of his aides made him aware it.

Nice catch karl

10. The FACT is...
that it might be forgiven if the WH had come forward as soon as they discovered that the informtion was false and had come clean. But no, they kept their mouths shut until forced to address the issue when the Wilson(?) guy came forward. Assuming the WH was duped (I know, I know) for the sake of argument with freepers, why did they not come clean and tell the American people they were wrong when the forgery became public?

12. Facts don't change............
LIES change. This pitiful excuse for a man is another person who shouldn't open his mouth. Everytime he does, shit pours out. "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt". Abraham Lincoln said that. "Stuff a cork in it Rummy". I said that.
