Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's running mate, has finally owned up to mis-speaking, as Hillary Clinton called it, or at best misremembering (if not straight-up lying) when he claimed last week to have run a marathon in under three hours.

It turns out the would-be Veep was an hour out. If you're going to exaggerate your achievements, think small, Paul! The Congressman has yet to be as forthcoming about the more serious factual errors that reportedly littered his convention speech.
