My favorite line about denying reality came from an episode of "Mythbusters," when one of the stars responded to scientific evidence that his theory of a phenomenon was wrong said, "I reject your reality and substitute one of my own." Governor Brewer definitely seems to ascribe to that line.
After running around the airwaves trying to characterize her tarmac encounter with the President as a "tense" one in which she felt "a little bit threatened," witnesses of the event are starting to punch holes in her story. TPM has the details here and here, and offers an article chronicling the Governor's troubled relationship with the truth.
Bottom line: Jan Brewer's a clown. The sad thing is, FOX is going to try to run with this as a great example of a scrappy Tea Partier standing up to the tyrant-in-chief thus continuing their tradition of producing the most ill-informed viewers of any media outlet.

and scrappy tea party white woman stood up to scary black man....
When is she up for re-election? Any chance she loses?
i agree, john. and i was stunned to read about her blatant lying and refusals to back down even being confronted with it. i wish stories like this, from this angle, would get more play.
