Car-Lying: Carly Fiorina Lies Like a Boss
by Ana Marie Cox
The surging GOP presidential contender’s meaningless specifics are a marketing ploy, not a policy.
The Central Intelligence Agency has some tips for spotting liars.

Carly Fiorina’s continuing distortions about what she saw, or didn’t see, on the Planned Parenthood sting videos would set off alarms all over Quantico on all those counts, but it’s her level of primary-color, pointillist embroidery on the truth—in that and other instances—that truly sets her apart from the rest of the field.
