Some Call It "Lying"

This from David Lieb in an AP piece about Sarah Steelman's rejection of state financial incentives for the Show-Me Ethanol boondoggle:

Among the hundreds of investors in Show Me Ethanol are Andy Blunt, the brother of Republican Gov. Matt Blunt; Lesley Graves, the wife of U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo.; and state Rep. John Quinn, R-Chillicothe, and his wife, Mary.

A Graves spokesman had said in January that she planned to sell her investment. But Durham said Thursday that the congressman's wife remains an investor.

Why does Sam Graves and his team want us to ­believe that his family was divesting of Show-Me Ethanol ownership when they clearly had no intention of doing so?  The press certainly can't like being treated in such a dishonest fashion.  Forget about the Graves' family stake in the venture; what does this deception say about Sam Graves' character?­

What else is Graves saying that simply isn't true?
