Huh. Time-Travel Usurper strikes again, since work on ICD-9 began in 1975.

I don't want to detract from the entertainment value of this article, but I hope we're all in agreement about how questionable Politifact's judgement methods are and that the above chart is meaningless because the sample size is only 14 hand-picked people based only on an inconsistent number of statements that Politifact chose to "measure" (based on news-worthiness) rather than a more comprehensive selection method.

Having said that, Ted Cruz is still an asshole.

They'd quibble about the definition of "dick" and then rate it Mostly False.

Thanks... I just choked on one of the last buckeyes leftover from my Christmas stash... but I forgive you because that was HI-LARIOUS!

They do... its named PunditFact. There is a tab for it on their main page.

Well they kinda sorta (mostly true) did that but it was specifically about what Barry B. Bamz said about Texas... they rated it "True" even though his estimates were a little short.

Yeah but there are labor laws ya know... they'd work themselves to death if they tried to keep up with the daily RWNJ arglebargle.

Also too... could be due to a higher level of estrogen cause I'm a chick and all but I totally identify with their rating system.

and also too... it is entirely True - Cruz is indeed an asshole.

The fact that Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin had a positive percentage impresses the hell out of me.
