Dick Cheney - Facts Never Get in His Way


When Dick Cheney talks about Iraq you pretty much know what's going to happen and that tends to be the opposite of what Dick Cheney claims.

Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Iraqis would greet American forces as liberators. The Iraq insurgency is in its final throes. There's nothing this guy won't say.

Cheney, however, may be saving his best lines for last. When he does speak to the media, Cheney goes with the rightwing pundits. They lob slow pitches to him and he runs with it. Here's how the veep described Iraq just days ago on Rush Limbaugh's show:

"If you look at the general overall situation, they're doing remarkably well."

With mid-term elections looming, Cheney is obviously trying to mobilize his base - the people who are sufficiently mindless to still believe anything he says. Sad, isn't it?
