Jon Kyl Excises Non-Factual Statement from Congressional Record

NPR reported Sen. Jon Kyl Corrects Erroneous Statement On Planned Parenthood "Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) got a lot of grief after saying, during a speech on the floor, that 'well over 90 percent' of Planned Parenthood's activities are related to abortion. The number is actually 3 percent and when it was pointed out, Kyl's office put out a clarification, saying the Senator's statements weren't intended to be 'factual.'"

"Now, Politico reports that Kyl has stricken the phrase from the Congressional Record. And, yes, Talking Points Memo reports, Congress is allowed to do that."

I guess "Record" was #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement.
