A current bill in the Welsh legislature will be a hard one to take off the table.

Wales introduces bill to criminalize politicians who lie.

They’re going to make it a criminal offense for politicians to lie. (Ouch! There goes that career!)

It’s still under discussion in the Senedd (Welsh Senate)–but how do they kill that bill without making it look like they want to tell lies and get away with it? And if they pass it, is everybody in the legislature going to tell nothing but the truth from now on? I mean, who’s going to be left if they kick out everyone who tells porkies?

But why wait? Someone should hustle to introduce this bill in the U.S. Senate, if only to watch Chuck Schumer’s head explode. Wouldn’t you just love to hear them debating an anti-lying bill?
