‘George Bush Lie Detector’ for cell phones

I only picked up on this this morning - via SMS Text News so it's too late to try it out, but it was an innovative idea - funded by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
During last night's State of the Union adress, you could have turned your cell phone into a Bush Lie Detector by signing up for live fact checks.
By texting "facts" to shortdoce 30644, whenever the President told a lie during the State of the Union, you could have receiveed a text with the truth.
In their own words:
"In his final State of the Union address, he will lie and deny, wrap himself in the heroism of better, braver men and women who wear the uniform, and try to tell us the economy is strong and the occupation is a success.
While we focus on a better future, we can't let him rewrite history."
