Is it me, or are today's politicians and media people more prone to exaggeration than they used to be some two decades ago or so? My favorite recent example: the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), called the misconduct of Secret Service agents in Cartagena, Colombia "the worst moment in the history of the Secret Service."
Seriously? If I remember correctly, there was once a crew of Secret Service agents who allowed the President to be shot dead on their watch. I really don't think that has been topped yet.
