So now the GOP admit to putting known lies into the official record? That's classy with a k. Or just typical at this point.

why would he retract it? it wasn't a mistake. he was lying, and lying for a reason. he was trying to find justification for his stance on the issue, and when there is no justification, you make it up. it's pretty much the theme of this war.
