Sacramento area Congressman John Garamendi, whose district stretches into the East Bay, finally pulled this attack ad that began airing last week for the phony claim it makes . . . about an office chair. The ad falsely claims that his GOP opponent and Colusa County supervisor Kim Vann had the county buy her a $4,000 chair.
Capitol Alert distills the truth of the matter into a sentence:
The county spent roughly $4,000 on chairs in the 2007-2008 fiscal year, but not on a single seat for Vann.
