I think Tullis' point about the coverup seeming worse than the crime is worth noting.
And I love it that he calls Bill O'Reilly a fathead. ;D

Too bad Lehrer didn't give Tullis a call before responding to the accusations. Tullis' proposed explanation is genius.

Not that I'm trying to excuse Lehrer, but it does seem to me that if you do something like what he did, and get caught at it, you only make it worse for yourself when you lie about it. That's what I took away from my admittedly swift read of Tullis' defense.

Well, now that Romney has named Paul Ryan as "the next President of the United States," :laugh: I'm going to have to read the Aug. 6-issue article about Ryan. The article's title is "Fussbudget." :laugh:
