I watched the 60 Minutes interview because I’m of the few pundits willing to say I think this is a real story. And because I like a good freak show as much as the next guy.

Regardless, Jackson lied on at least two points last night. First, he says he was so severely roughed-up when he was handcuffed that he now can’t lift his arm more than a foot or so. That’s nonsense since he gave that victory salute after he left the station house.

Second, he says he was “manhandled.” Doesn’t that require being a man?
