Somebody, Get That Witch Some Veritaserum

Steve Benen on Republican Christine O'Donnell:
[W]hen O'Donnell said she studied at Oxford, that appears to be a lie. When she said she had earned a degree before she actually had, that was a lie, too. When she pointed to post-grad work at Princeton, that was also a lie…. Asked if she would lie to Nazis during World War II who showed up at her door looking for homes harboring Jews, O'Donnell replied, "You never have to practice deception." Unless, apparently, you're trying to deceive people about your academic background.

Ouch!
