My step-dad (Ron Huntley) was a compulsive liar. Years after he and my mom divorced, he ran for Oregon state representative on the Dem ballot, and got convicted of three counts of providing false statements under the election laws by stating he had earned degrees in Political science and law enforcement from Olympia and Portland State Universities. Both were untrue.

Wasn't there some teabagger congressional candidate in the Midwest who recently lied about his military service? And then there was "Tailgunner Joe" McCarthy.
Gotta love those pols!
