Liars and Fools for the day are:
CBS golf analyst David Feherty says "any US soldier" would assassinate Pelosi and Reid if given the chance
He's a 'golf analyst' so that right there tells you his credibility - zero.

Not exactly there Pat. There are some close similarities, granted, but not exactly the same.
Buchanan: "What [Obama has] done here is clearly disrespect the Christian community deliberately"
Who? Where? When?
CNS lies that hate crimes bill "would grant special federal resources and preferred minority status to pedophiles, homosexuals, cross-dressers"
Fear mongering, just fear mongering.
Joe the Plumber (who's name insn't Joe and who is not a plumber) says he has homosexual friends, but he wouldn't let them near his children
I wouldn't let "Joe" near my children either ... and they're damn near forty years old themselves

Phil Astin, sentenced to 10 years in prison
The personal doctor to a professional wrestler who killed himself, his wife and their 7-year-old son was sentenced to 10 years in prison for illegally distributing prescription drugs to patients.Dr. Phil Astin, 54, was sentenced Tuesday after pleading guilty Jan. 29 to 175 counts that including illegally distributing prescription drugs.
World Wrestling Entertainment's Chris Benoit killed his family and then himself in 2007 in their suburban Atlanta home. A medical examiner couldn't say whether the steroids Astin prescribed for Benoit played a role in the deaths.
U.S. District Judge Jack Camp said there was no doubt the 54-year-old Astin tried to help hundreds of patients at his western Georgia clinic. But the judge said he could not overlook the fact that two patients died as a result of Astin's misconduct.
Astin pleaded guilty in January to a 175-count federal indictment. He also admitted that prescriptions he issued resulted in the overdose death of a female patient in 2007.
