PolitiFact, a Pulitzer Prize-winning fact-checking organization, issued its totally-not-coveted “Pants on Fire” rating to Sarah Palin for the ginormous whopper she told on Fox News earlier this week:
“Democrats are poised now to cause this largest tax increase in U.S. history.”
As it turns out, letting the Bush tax cuts expire for the wealthiest Americans would restore tax rates to Clinton-era levels and result in a tax increase that’s smaller than the one championed by Palin’s hero Ronald Reagan. Hence the “Pants on Fire” rating from the non-partisan group.
But Snowpack Snooki isn’t going to let mere facts get in the way of lying demagoguery. She took to Facebook to “fact-check the fact-checkers,” with results that make Wile E. Coyote look like a super genius Roadrunner catcher.
Maybe it was all the words and numbers PolitiFact used to explain the rating. Perhaps this cheesy 60s music video would be easier to comprehend:
