#NotIntendedToBeFactual

GOP Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona claimed last week that abortion is “well over 90% of what Planned Parenthood does.”

The actual number is less than 3%.

Details, details. Okay, fine, so it’s the usual right-wing strategy of “the sky is green, war is peace, why do you hate America” approach to discourse; namely, repeat a lie often enough and it becomes true. Yawn. Move on.

Unless you’re Kyl’s spokesperson and explain it with a true yet colossally idiotic comment to reporters: that the 90% figure “was not intended to be a factual statement.”

Stephen Colbert has now launched the Twitter meme featuring Jon Kyl and the hashtag #notintendedtobefactual:

Once a year, Jon Kyl retreats to the Arizona desert and deposits 2 million egg sacs under the sand.

Citing religious reasons, Jon Kyl refuses to utter the number 8.

Jon Kyl once ate a badger he hit with his car.

Carly Simon wrote that song about Jon Kyl.

Legally, Jon Kyl cannot be within 100 yards of Helen Mirren.

Jon Kyl has a shrine to Scooter from the Muppet Show.

You get the idea. If you have a Twitter account, go for it. Otherwise, feel free to go nuts here in the comments.

@Capt Howdy: He also sounded like one in 2008. I’ll wait for the sellout.

@nojo: Come for the Hope ™, stay for the Sellout.

the sellout could come but it was not in this speech.

@Capt Howdy: If nothing else, congratulations to whoever floated the expectation-lowering Simpson-Bowles rumor yesterday. Well-played.

@Capt Howdy: I want to watch/read it, but reading this on Sully’s liveblog gives me Hope:

2.17 pm. Are you for children with Down Syndrome … or tax cuts for the increasingly wealthy? Then he describes himself as one of the rich, and compares his new tax break with 33 seniors having to find $6,000 each to fund their healthcare. Then a hard-hitting claim that the Ryan plan isn’t “serious or courageous.”
