| Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) has pointed out in the “budget” debate that planned parenthood allocates 90% of their budget to providing abortions. Actually, the real number is 3%. When questioned on it, his office responded “he never meant his statement on it to be factual”, which brings us back to Colbert’s famous statement “beware of facts, they are known to have a liberal bias”. We say beware of Republican numbers, they are about as real as “genuine plastic”. How incredible that a US Senator uses statistics in a debate in the senate chamber, and then argues that they are not meant to be factual! But it should not surprise us…after all he is Republican, and from Arizona. |
