Mark Twain once said, “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” Like most chestnuts that sound simplistic, that one also happens to be true. Indeed, if you tell the truth, if you have a core set of principles, if your beliefs are based on a consistent set of values and ethics, you don’t need a good memory to stay out of trouble. This is a lesson the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza has yet to learn.
Over the last few days Cillizza’s lies, mixed with a bad memory, have seen whatever credibility he once had blow spectacularly up in his face.
