Fun With Letters to the Editor

From today's Inquirer:

Truth squad needed

Isn't there some election ethic commission that can control the outrageous slurs and outright lies told by both sides in this election?

Um, no. There is not. Sorry.

Also, the phrase "outrageous slurs and outright lies told by both sides" leads me to believe that this was written by the sort of person who does not actually follow politics, but just subscribes to the "Both sides are crazy! What a bunch of crooks!" school of thought. No need actually give an example of the outright lies coming from both sides; after all, you know how politicians are! Am I right, folks?
