Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick, Dick

So the VP is out telling Americans, or at least the American Enterprise Institute (home of all the 19% of Americans who still trust him), that, according to LexisNexis, "What is not legitimate -- and what I will again say is dishonest and reprehensible -- is the suggestion by some U. S. senators that the President of the United States or any member of his administration purposely misled the American people on pre-war intelligence."

OK, let's say not one person from Bush Co. misled the country during the dash up to the war.

Then why does Cheney spend so much of this current speech, on November 21, 2005, to link Iraq and September 11?

"And our thinking was informed by what had happened to our country on the morning of September 11th, 2001."

"In a post-9/11 world, the President and Congress of the United States declined to trust the word of a dictator..."

"Believing they could strike us with impunity and that they could change U.S. policy, they attacked us on 9/11 here in the homeland, killing 3,000 people. Now they are making a stand in Iraq..."

Couldn't be because he's dishonest and reprehensible, could it?
