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'm a both/and sort of guy, myself.

If I'd made a poll of the question I'd have created a "Both" section just for folk like you.

Myself, I reckon Rep. Austria's just unfathomably dumb, whether a liar or not: you've got to be quite extraordinarily stupid to think no one's going to call you on a piece of BS so completely BSish as that one.
