Somewhat relatedly, here's a good strategy when you're caught telling a blatant lie:
Kyl Walks Back Planned Parenthood Claim: It ‘Was Not Intended To Be A Factual Statement’
As ThinkProgress reported earlier today, Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) defended Republicans’ willingness to shut down the government over funding for Planned Parenthood by falsely claiming that abortion is “well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does.” In reality, just three percent of its work is related to abortion. This afternoon, CNN brought on Planned Parenthood’s Judy Tabar to discuss his comment. During the interview, CNN anchor Don Lemon relayed a statement from Kyl’s office walking back the comment, claiming the statement was not meant to be “factual”:
LEMON: We did call his office trying to ask what he was talking about there. And I just want to give it you verbatim here. It says, ‘his remark was not intended to be a factual statement, but rather to illustrate that Planned Parenthood, a organization that receives millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, does subsidize abortions.’
I hope she shows at a friendly and helpful door soon!
I'm kind of exhausted. The demons aren't. They are wrestling in the bedroom.

Shorter Kyl: I am a lying liar who lies.
Another version of shorter Kyl: I lied, but didn't mean to get caught.
Well over 90 percent of what Jon Kyl says is a lie.

I remember that decision. Come home, puppy! Be safe.
Someone clearly should have checked whether Kyl's fingers were crossed.
OMG, I'm down to my last bendy straw. How did I let things get this bad?
I'm gonna try Kyl's approach the next time a cop stops me:
Cop: Do you know you were speeding?
Me: I was not intending to follow the speed limit.
That'll work, right?
