The joke always goes like this:  how can you tell when a politician is lying?  His lips move.

Exaggeration, nuance and outright lies go hand in hand with politics.

So there is a thriving market to take the stump speeches and campaig…

Briefly, a Mexican national was convicted in Texas of murder in 1993. The administration is goint to the Supreme Court to set aside the conviction because (a) the International Court of Justice wants it done and (b) he didn’t get legal assistance from the Mexican government at the time.

This wasn’t just any run-of-the-mill killing. This piece of filth participated in the gang-rape and murder of two teenage girls, stole a watch from one of the girls’ bodies, then bragged about it later. Justice would call for this SOB to pay for his crimes in the most painful way possible.

But now the administration wants this conviction set aside because a United Nations court says so???? I expect that from the far left – but from this administration? To say I’m hugely disappointed is an understatement.

A full accounting of the murders can be found here. WARNING: this is a graphic description of the events. Don’t read it if you’ll be easily upset.

You must not have been using my picks.

Since I won’t be watching the Yankees in the playoffs anymore I’ll have plenty of time to see movies.

Michelle just put this little nugget up on HotAir’s Headlines – Congress investigates NASCAR cooties!.
