a liar, or just plain stupider than a lavatory plunger?


I report, you decide. Well, in fact, it's Harper's Weekly that reports:

The House and Senate reached agreement on a $789 billion economic-stimulus plan, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign into law despite a lack of support from Republicans. "When Roosevelt did this," said Representative Steve Austria (R., Ohio), "he put our country into a Great Depression. That's just history."

Um, no, Rep. Austria. It's not.

I think you might have to show Rep. Austria how to spell it first.
