#2 "We can't spend any staff, $, or effort on Barack's transcripts or radical connections and upbringing, but we can afford to send staff to investigate a $1 Sweater claim....that's true"

Politifact is a partisan joke. Credibility = Zero

#3 My wife is a dedicated Kohl's shopper. I get dragged into the store from time to time. Indeed, you can buy clothing off the 80 to 90% off racks, use your Kohl's cash, and walk out with the store owing you money. I personally wouldn't wear the stuff that is on those racks but tastes vary.

#4 Politifact has been in the forefront of leftist 'investigations' and skewering against Gov. Walker in newsprint since before he took office (when he was Milwaukee County's Executive). They will leave no stone (imaginary or not) unturned in their pursuit to discredit him. They will only rate a 'true' when they can find absolutely NO issues with a statement or action by the governor that will offer the left an advantage.

One misused/misplaced word or statement by the governor rates a full 'False' generally. The next day, the rating is posted on signs carried by some 'activists' somewhere in Madison or Milwaukee (usually accompanied by tambourines, drums and really bad singers).

The Politifact folks probably figured that this sweater issue, if negatively rated by them, would be a non-starter for the left's talking points.

#5 No worries politifact will never get to the bottom of this because they pull the investigators off the 'find out if Romney paid taxes the last ten years' fact check.
