Leo The Lyin'

Anti-P.C. Fraud John Leo, fresh from reporting on non-existent campus hate crimes, has more problems with the truth. Peddling Our Man Is Islamisbad's discredited diatribe, Lyin' Leo ups the ante by compounding the fibs:

"So police came across the sniper suspects at least 11 times during the long manhunt but let them go every time. The Washington, D.C., police chief acknowledged that race was a factor in this amazing failure. "Everybody was looking for a white car with white people," he told the Washington Post."

The only problem is the Washington Post article Leo cites, via Sully, never quotes the Washington D.C. Police Chief. The Post article attributes the quote to "one-high ranking police source," jurisdiction and rank unnamed. The article never references the D.C. Chief of Police. The article refers to a single incident that happened in Maryland, not D.C. The article doesn't refer to 11 incidents. (Could it be that Leo is having auto-erotically-induced flashbacks about Chief Ramsey and the Chandra Levy case?)

Ah, well. When you're bashing "political correctness," literal correctness doesn't matter. And truth means nothing, if you're Leo the Lyin'.

It's all down hill from there, but The Howler has already covered the most of the rest.
