It Is Not "Gotcha Journalism"

when reporters point out that Ol' Willard has a problem with the truth. It's called "journalism."

Claiming he saw things that he didn't see. Claiming he was endorsed by groups that didn't endorse him. Claiming he was a "lifelong hunter" when he had been hunting twice. Misremembering when he graduated law school by three years. Saying he "cracked down on meth" when all that happened was he proposed doing so.

Willard seems to have a problem with the facts. The Wingnuts who went nuts over Al Gore's failings in that regard have nothing to complain about. He seems to have the same problem with English that Bill Clinton did, in that Willard twists definitions around so it doesn't seem as though he was mis-speaking or lying.
