Of course it goes without saying that you have to read the text to find out the basis for their ratings. For example, they rated Joe Biden's comment that the president is "brain dead" as a Pants on Fire statement because:
There’s no evidence Biden performed the necessary medical tests to make such a diagnosis. We would have accepted the results of a cerebral blood flow study or proof that Biden had examined Bush to see if he had an oculocephalic reflex.Indeed, even people who disagree with the president about Iraq and assorted other issues will acknowledge that the president has spontaneous respiration and is responding to stimuli.
