re. chap's comment (#148) about President Obama and lying:

Maybe he’s reformed now.

chap: This is from the Bible, so it may offend with the reference to "the Ethiopian.."

Jeremiah 13:23 -- Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?

[...] And also the Burris fiasco, like I did not tell everyone… With Chicago/Illinois Democratic machine politics EVERYONE is involved and yes that includes the Messiah! Read the write up from Michelle Malkin’s blog here with rolling updates. [...]

Depends on what your definition of “is” is.

Sound familiar?

…Smell the roses.

I joked at the time Burris came in that the reporters needed to ask him, “what did you pay for the position?”

It was an obvious question. Be careful what you joke about…
The whole reporter corpse is so idiotic. Un f-in believable.

Correct me if I’m wrong–wasn’t Burris an attorney before being fauxpointed by Blago to the Senate?

Yup…graduated from law school: Juris Doctorate, Howard University.

Liar. Corruptocrat.

The First 100 Holy Days of the Messiah have produced nothing less than the worst 100 days of a presidential administration since Jimmy Carter–or ever.

Roland Burris was part of Blagojevich scandal…

No sooner did Blago appoint him and then get ousted as Illinois governor, the man he appointed senator has also been discovered to be part of a scandal…

Obama just might veto the bill after all. Rush just said that the “buy American” clause is STILL in there, even though Obama asked them to take it out. This is the clause that got a lot of countries mad at us and threatened trade wars. Well, if Rush is right and this thing is still in there…should be interesting.

And then what? So a bill that has ALREADY BEEN VOTED ON is finally posted on-line for people to read…but it is too late for anyone to do anything about it.

He said five days. The conference bill came out Feb. 12. He is signing it on the 17th. Do the math, genius.

And then what? So a bill that has ALREADY BEEN VOTED ON is finally posted on-line for people to read…but it is too late for anyone to do anything about it.

What about putting it on-line BEFORE it is voted on so that the PEOPLE of this country can find out what is in it BEFORE it is voted on so that the proper vetting of said bills can be done?

Oh yeah…you can’t sneak an agenda through that way.

I’d bet that the Burris lied leak came from either harry Reid’s office or Rahmbo Emmanuel’s office.

This is lengthy, but interesting. Remind you of anyone?
Pathological liars, or “mythomaniacs,” may be suffering from histrionic personality disorder or narcissistic personality disorder. The following comments basically reflect a pathological liar who has the characteristics of histrionic personality disorder.
Some characteristics:
1. Exaggerates things that are ridiculous.
2. One-upping. Whatever you do, this person can do it better. You will never top them in their own mind, because they have a concerted need to be better than everyone else. This also applies to being right. If you try to confront an individual like this, no matter how lovingly and well-intentioned you might be – this will probably not be effective. It’s threatening their fantasy of themselves, so they would rather argue with you and bring out the sharp knives than admit that there’s anything wrong with them.
3. They “construct” a reality around themselves. They don’t value the truth, especially if they don’t see it as hurting anyone. If you call them on a lie and they are backed into a corner, they will act very defensively and say ugly things (most likely but depends on personality), but they may eventually start to act like, “Well, what’s the difference? You’re making a big deal out of nothing!” (again, to refocus the conversation to your wrongdoing instead of theirs).
4. Because these people don’t value honesty, a lot of times they will not value loyalty. So watch what you tell them. They will not only tell others, but they will embellish to make you look worse. Their loyalty is fleeting, and because they are insecure people, they will find solace in confiding to whomever is in their favor at the moment.
5. Obviously, they will contradict what they say. This will become very clear over time. They usually aren’t smart enough to keep track of so many lies (who would be?).
Here are some ways to tell someone is a pathological liar:
 They lie about even the smallest things. For example, saying “I brushed my teeth today,” when they didn’t.
 They add exaggerations to every sentence.
 They change their story all the time.
 They act very defensively when you question their statements.
 They believe what they say is true, when everyone else knows it isn’t.
Here’s an alternate “checklist”:
 Lies when it is very easy to tell the truth.
 Lies to get sympathy, to look beter, to save their butt, etc.
 Fools people at first but once they get to know him, no one believes anything they ever say.
 May have a personality disorder.
 Extremely manipulative.
 Has been caught in lies repeatedly.
 Never fesses up to the lies.
There are few differences between pathological liar and a “slime ball” liar (like the Schumers of the world). Pathological liars cannot tell that they are lying they actually believe the lie as soon as it comes out of their mouth. They lie about unimportant things that don’t really matter to anyone. This can be caused by mental defect but isn’t always. Slime-ball liars lie about things that make them look better or embellish to get attention. They also lie to keep their butts out of trouble and to get what they want.
 It is very hard to tell when one is a pathological liar. Some people just are liars and lie to lie because they can and they don’t care about getting caught and aware that you know they have lied. These people care not about lying, it’s no big deal. It’s like “ok, so what? I lied”. The pathological liar on the other hand, IS aware that they are lying BUT will go to extremes to make you believe that they are truthful. They appear to believe their own lies BUT in truth, they know their lies are just that, lies. But because their efforts are constantly backing up their lies, it appears to us that they actually believe their lies, when we eventually do find out about them and then we tend to feel sorry for these people. Then they have an excuse, “I am sick, I don’t know why I lie, I believed what I was saying etc.” The only truth was the fact that they don’t know why they lie. Other than that it’s crap.
 Other indicators: 1) Rage attacks after they realize you’re questioning their lies. 2) Distraction techniques, e.g. hanging up the phone when you catch them in lie, playing word games, or even just running out of the room. After using the distraction technique, or rage attack, or sometimes both, they will pretend that nothing ever happened. They re-write history, so it never did happen in their minds. Normal people do it too, but these people take it to the extreme.
