Republican Senator Jon Kyl recently made some untrue statements about Planned Parenthood. When called out on it, his office released a statement saying that 'his remark was not intended to be a factual statement'. Jon Kyl Is Sorry If He Gave Anyone The Impression That The Things He Says In Public Are Factual
As you may recall, during today's lengthy Pap Smear Armageddon/Government Shutdown 2011 pageant play, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) stood on the floor of the upper chamber, telling the C-Span cameras and gathered attendees that abortion was "well over 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does."
That prompted many people to remark, "Uhm, actually, you have got those statistics just about as wrong as you possibly could."
But now, Kyl's office has walked back the statement, in perhaps the most hilarious and cowardly way possible. Let's kick this over to Alex Seitz-Wald, at ThinkProgress:
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.'
Oh, ha ha, did you think that the things Kyl says aloud on television that go into the Congressional Record and that he attaches his name to are meant to be some sort of true facts or something? Well, the joke's on you, because sometimes, Jon Kyl just likes to spit straight verbal nonsense at you to "illustrate" things that he wishes were true, but aren't.

Was willowtaint arguing over this? I'd love to see those posts. They must be priceless.
she/he was aruging with modbert about how she was using Kyl as her proof and trusting what he said to be factual.
Really shows you how stupid people like that are. Thats what you are up against and it should frustrate you because they are so stupid.

I agree his statement was stupid and his explanation lame. But wow, the left complaining about hyperbole? It's like feeling sorry for the Philadelphia Eagle's complaining about a cheap hit. Intellectual agreement, but complete lack of sympathy because of the hypocrisy of the masters in the art of cheap hits...
Fucking conservatives..you gotta love them. They call the President a "liar" in the halls of Congress, something NEVER done before..and then LIE in the halls of congress..something that's unfortunately done alot. AND THEN say..well..don't take my lies seriously.
Un-fucking-believable.
