So who lies the most?

Polifact.com rates the statements of politicians and others as True, Mostly True, Half True, Mostly False, False and Pants on Fire for real whoppers.

The first rule is always look at the numbers so let's look at them shall we? In the order of highest percentage of true claims:

Barack Obama - True or Mostly True (46%), Half True (27%), Mostly False or False (26%) and Pants on Fire (2%)

Hillary Clinton - True or Mostly True (46%), Half True (25%), Mostly False or False (26%) and Pants on Fire (2%)

John Boehner - True or Mostly True (35%), Half True (9%), Mostly False or False (52%) and Pants on Fire (4%)

Mitt Romney - True or Mostly True (31%), Half True (28%), Mostly False or False (32%) and Pants on Fire (9%)

Rick Perry - True or Mostly True (27%), Half True (26%), Mostly False or False (38%) and Pants on Fire (9%)

Paul Ryan - True or Mostly True (26%), Half True (26%), Mostly False or False (43%) and Pants on Fire (5%)

Rick Santorum - True or Mostly True (20%), Half True (25%), Mostly False or False (44%) and Pants on Fire (10%)

Nancy Pelosi - True or Mostly True (18%), Half True (45%), Mostly False or False (27%) and Pants on Fire (9%)

Michelle Bachmann - True or Mostly True (15%), Half True (10%), Mostly False or False (50%) and Pants on Fire (25%)

Hermann Cain - True or Mostly True (13%), Half True (17%), Mostly False or False (56%) and Pants on Fire (13%)

Rush Limbaugh - True or Mostly True (6%), Half True (12%), Mostly False or False (53%) and Pants on Fire (29%)

It's a bit of a concern that no one is above 50% for True or Mostly True isn't it?

There wasn't enough history to list Bill Clinton or George W. Bush although I suspect that neither of them would do well. We all know Bill lied about his women and Georgie probably lied about the WMDs but only under duress from Dick Cheney (*cough, cough*).
