The award for Saturday's most misleading post, part two
Apparently attempting to outdo itself, the conservative blog The Outlander lied twice in one day:
Bill "Slick Willie" Ritter undertook what he promoted as a whistle-stop tour of the state today. How much did that cost the Colorado tayxpayer? The objective news media did not ask, and they probably will not do so. But had this been a Republican they would have demanded the original receipts for all expenses incurred.
In 10 seconds of Googling, I found stories in the Rocky and 9news.com reporting that the total cost of inauguration activities - including the whistle-stop train tour - will be $750,000, financed primarily by ticketholders and corporate sponsors, not taxpayers.
