Jonah Goldberg on Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and the 'Truthiness' of Congress. If there's an underlying reason why many left and RINO politicians are being rejected by our society it is this: they believe in nothing but power. Therefore having a fake newsman give fake testimony on a real issue makes sense if it helps them get more. Truth is irrelevant and therefore not required in testimony (unless of course a political enemy can be prosecuted for perjury). What matters is does it work in the ceaseless, never-ending quest for power.
When we unhook our choices from truth what we get - stripped of all the jokes, cliches and stunts - is fascism, the lust for power as an end in and of itself.
And to our Nation's shame it was on display in Congress last week for all the world to see.
Truthiness indeed.
