'And I once caught a fish that was thiiiiiiis big.'
If you can't trust a member of the honorable Cheney clan, there's
no one left to trust:
Despite telling reporters that she raised $1 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, Liz Cheney's Wyoming Senate campaign actually pulled in far less than that total and spent more than she raised during that time. [...]
Cheney raised just under $720,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013, but her campaign spent more than $900,000, FEC reports show. That profilgate spending was more than any other non-incumbent Senate candidate spent in the fourth quarter, and it explains why she ended the quarter with $183,000 less in the bank that she began it.
If someone tells you they care about the budget but they don't know the difference between $720,000 and $1,000,000, be wary. Counting money is really the one and only thing we expect our politicians to be able to do these days.
