Sunlight Foundation comes through again with another great data exhibit. This time one that demonstrates just how much, how often, and how intensely the Republican party will lie about anything to control the narratives, no matter how evident and easily discoverable are the facts. 

Look at all the red bars (#GOP) moving past 50 votes in the Yea column, each time THEY used this process to "ram through" their vicious, selfish agendas. How dare those democrats use the same process to give all Americans—at least better—access to health care.

It's just shameful that Fox, Beck, Rush and the #GOP have helped lower our bullshit threshold this far, to where a simple dataset could be so telling of the viciousness and shamelessness of the lying being done in this Health Care reform fight to do the right thing.

The Fox wingnut soap opera 24, has cast a middle east suicide bombing terrorist character (with an American mother… who won't arouse suspicion) who curiously enough, bears a very strong physical and facial resemblance to DailyKos founder, Markos Moulitsas. The actor's name is Rami Malek.

Oh, and funny thing: The character's name is "Markos." Must be a coincidence, I reckon.

You can see the March 1st episode here once they post it. http://www.fox.com/24/

The character is introduced at about the 32 minute mark. He's answering a cell phone inside a truck, hovering over the fuel rods to be used in a dirty bomb. The bastid! Until then, you can see a still photo of Malek below, to the right of famous Interwebs terrorist himself.

Close enough for government work!
