Talk radio logic revealed

Lie now, modify conditional statement later.

Useful transcript here (plus even more comic rationalization*):

As usual, I was shooting my mouth off ... That's what I do if you haven't noticed. I shoot my mouth off and make all sorts of bold statements ... in the way that only a blowhard gasbag like myself would do.

Props for not being completely dishonest.

* Nobody's taking it that seriously.
