The left-leaning Washington Post awarded<\/a> President Obama four, count 'em, four<\/em> pinocchios, its highest (dis)honor,  for the repeatedly told lie for which he is now notorious.  In one of its variations, it goes like this: \u201cAnd if you like your insurance plan, you will keep it.  No one will be able to take that away from you.  It hasn\u2019t happened yet.  It won\u2019t happen in the future.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Now the sense of Obama's assertion in all its variations is clear.  But when Bob Schieffer asked Senator Dianne Feinstein On Face the Nation<\/em> Sunday morning<\/a> about Obama's statements, she offered the following interpretation of its sense  (at 6:06):  "You can keep it [your health plan] up to the time the bill is enacted; after that it's a different story."<\/span><\/p>\n

You heard right.
<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that is mendacity at its most creative.  It is an example of an Orwellian misuse of language: semantic subversion by semantic inversion.  'True freedom is enslavement to the state."  "Welfare is self-reliance."<\/a>  "War is peace."<\/span><\/p>\n

And Feinstein's "Obamacare law will allow you to keep your doctor and health plan but only until the bill becomes law."<\/span><\/p>\n

Did Schieffer call Feinstein on her outrageous insult to the intelligence of the American people?  Watch the video and find out.<\/span> <\/p>\n
