Morris apologizes, stands by Girl Scout decision

[gratuitous]

7. Not too careful about bearing false witness, is he?

I would have surmised Mr. Morris would be kind of careful about that, but whaddyagonnado? I do like how Republican stove-piping works, though. One Girl Scout group presents an award to someone in Texas for their civic work, and that person is also affiliated or associated with Planned Parenthood. In the Republican mind, this means Girl Scouts are earning merit badges for performing abortions. But when a Republican is caught out-and-out lying (cf. Sen. Kyl's statement on the Senate floor that 97% of all services Planned Parenthood provides are abortion), then it's no big deal. I didn't mean for that to be a truthful statement. I was just writing to my legislative colleagues. You can't call me a liar!

To quote Paul Simon: I say now who do, who do you think you're foolin'?
