but I'm curious how "we're doomed" will play itself out.
For one, it will prove beyond a reasonable doubt that politicians don't have to hide their lies. No longer will it be some "secret" that only people like us see. No, everyone sees this son of a bitch lie, on a national stage, then goes on to get away with it. It will prove that politicians can be openly and publicly two faced.
Ok, maybe not doomed, but it's one hell of a scary precedent.
