How Can You Tell When a Republican is Lying?

It used to be that the only answer to that joke was "His lips move". But now, thanks to the Center for American Progress [link], there's also the Claim vs. Fact Database [link], which is a database of statements by the Bush Administration and its adjunct, Fox News, and then sourced facts that debunk or discredit the lies.

The database is small so far (around 400 entries), but it's new, and the blogosphere is being invited to submit examples for consideration and possible inclusion in the database, so I suspect that it won't be small for long. One neat feature is that you can search the database by topic and speaker, so that, for instance, if you're looking for misstatements by Donald Rumsfeld on the subject of whether American troops would be greeted as liberators ("Never said that. You may remember it, but I never said that." I'm sorry, that answer will be marked as "wrong". Please play again later), you can find it with no fuss, no muss.
