There’s a great piece in the Wall Stree Journal about the VP debate and Biden’s falsehoods. Speaking of which, Mr. Biden also averred that “Our commanding general in Afghanistan said the surge principle in Iraq will not work in Afghanistan.” In trying to correct him, Mrs. Palin mispronounced the general’s name — saying “General...
