Yup - here's the full story: http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/congress.asp As an aside note that people will actually remember myths and untruths as true even in the material debunking them! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/03/AR2007090300 933.html?nav%3Dhcmodule&sub=AR The research was done a CDC pamphlet debunking flu myths: even as soon as a half-hour after reading the pamphlet older people misremembered 28% of the false statements as true (and considered them true because they read them in a CDC pamphlet). In short it doesn't matter whether this is true or not, was true and is not now true or whatever: once people read it a lot of them will consider it true no matter what.
