What, Shelly Berkley Lies Again?

 

Shelly Berkley is running for U.S. Senate and she is running on lies in her commercials (what a shock, a politician lies)
In her commercial which features a Chef from Treasure Island, there is this printed quote from the commercial:  Shelly Berkley saved Nevada's only  kidney transplant center: Las Vegas Sun 9/7/2011
Well, here is what the Las Vegas Sun said on 9/7/11.  From the Las Vegas Sun editorial:
It is no secret that Berkley, who is running for the U.S. Senate, is married to a doctor and that she is a strong advocate for quality health care. The Times’ article pointed out that Berkley, along with other members of the congressional delegation, pushed to keep the UMC kidney transplant center open after it ran into problems with federal regulators. Because her husband’s practice has a contract with the hospital, there must be a conflict, right? Wrong.
Berkley was correct to advocate for UMC. The state had no other transplant center, and as a result of her work, the UMC center is
now improved, and Nevadans don’t have to leave the state for care. The idea that her advocacy on behalf of the good of all Nevadans is some sort of conflict of interest is ridiculous. (The Times didn’t mention that she has opposed tort reform measures pushed by doctors’ groups that would have helped her husband.)  http://m.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/sep/07/times-misses-point-working-all-nevadans-isnt-probl/  Nothing in there about Berkley saving the transplant center.  Improved yes, saved, no.  The Sun also admitted that she was not the only one who worked to save the transplant center, so this is not a one person show.
Then this story from extremely liberal Annjeanette Damon: But political scientist Eric Herzik said Berkley is well positioned to withstand the scrutiny.
“So she happens to be married to a doctor,” he said. “She saved a transplant clinic. If I were her, I would be out there right now spinning it that way. ‘Yes, it was flawed, and I helped fix it.’ ”http://mobile.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/sep/07/expect-times-berkley-story-be-big-campaign-issue/
This is just a political scientist who is suggesting that she saved a clinic and saying what her strategy should be.  And of course, the quote from the commercial is not there.
So, once again, Shelly Berkley is a liar.  And since she is a serial liar, is that who we want as a U.S. Senator?  We already have one serial liar in the U.S. Senate from Nevada, why would we need a second one?
