And liberals say we make shit up…
In her column last Wednesday, Maureen Dowd wrote that a Democratic lawmaker privately asked Gen. David Petraeus why there weren’t more Democrats in the military, and he replied, “There are more than you think.”
Col. Steven Boylan of the general’s public affairs office in Baghdad, which was not contacted for comment, says the quotation “is in error as he never made nor would make such a statement.”

Actually, it was a pleasure to be able to say that they fight like girls, Bob.

Making it up as they go. It the progressive way.

It was made up but it was factual. Just like Rather’s paper on Bush.
