Our new guilty pleasure blog Deceiver.com (eat your heart out Jason Linkins) is noting three big, bad Rudy discrepancies from his time as mayor:

That New York during his tenure was “the only city in America that has reduced crime every single year since 1994.” Chicago is in America too, though.

That he cut spending by 7 percent; his own memoir says it grew by 3.4 percent.

That he increased the police force from 28,000 to 40,000, when most of that was due to a merger of the NYPD with the Transit and Housing Police Departments.

Politicians making things up. Can you believe it?
