New RNC chair told CNN pseudo-journalist Wolf Blitzer “Not in the history of mankind has the government ever created a job.”

Really? As TPM points out — and as every reasonably intelligent Heathen should know for themselves in Houston, of all places — this is utterly obvious bullshit. Thousands and thousands of people beg to differ, working as they do for organizations like NASA, or the military, or the park service, or any of an alphabet soup of Federal or state agencies that provide services we all take for granted.

Of course, we expect Republicans to traffic in absurdly transparent lies. What’s nearly criminal here is that Blitzer did nothing to challenge the lie. Tell us again about the “liberal media,” Republicans. Really.
