Rex Griswold puts lipstick on a pig

This is an absolutely hilarious catch by Rex Watch. It turns out that Rex Griswold has decided to post the positive snippets of the Arizona Republic's statements about him from their endorsement of his competitior Claudia Walters on the front page of his website.

Here is what Griswold has on his site:

"...Rex Griswold has the specifics. He tells us that Mesa should diversify its World War II-era revenue stream and update its woefully outdated zoning codes."

Here is the real section from the Republic:

"...Rex Griswold has the specifics. He tells us that Mesa should diversify its World War II-era revenue stream and update its woefully outdated zoning codes.

But there hasn't been much passion in his speeches, not much that would make the average citizen say, 'Sign me up!'"

He certainly appears to be taking the quote out of context and omitting the key portion of that sentence. Would someone allow him to do that if it were for a review of his old restaurant?

If the local food critic had said, "I thought that the salad was great, until I found a huge hair in it." Would he put "I thought the food was great!" on the cover of the menu?
