Matt on a really bad conservative lie

It’s too bad that repeated, endless, flagrant dishonesty doesn’t do much of anything to damage a politician’s ability to be taken seriously as a sober-minded centrist deal-maker, or Chuck Grassley would be in a world of pain: Sen. Edward M. Kennedy would be refused treatment for his brain tumor in England — at least according to one of the allegations lobbed at Britain’s state-funded health-care service recently by critics of President Obama’s proposed health-care reforms.


Francois' response: The sad part about this lie is that Grassley missed out on making a really good point.

Ed Kennedy is receiving proton beam therapy treatments. The NHS does not cover proton beam therapy treatments. Kennedy would have to get chemo if he lived in Britain.
