A Dick, By Any Other Name, is Still a Dick

Call him Richard, Big Time, whatever--don't make no difference:

Mr Cheney called Democrats "opportunists" who were peddling "cynical and pernicious falsehoods" to gain political advantage while American soldiers died in Iraq.

"The president and I cannot prevent certain politicians from losing their memory, or their backbone - but we're not going to sit by and let them rewrite history," he said.

No, Dick--YOU'RE the one with no backbone, no principles, no morals--and, as the saying goes, I was about to write "no convictions," but that could change, real soon.

You're also a liar, just like Scooter.

Note: TPM is working on a more comprehensive list of outright lies, lies of omission, exaggerations, implications, etc., made by Team Bush in the runup to Mission Flight-Suit Photo-Op.

Consider: with all the dirt they're flinging, it's interesting that they apparently concede the underlying circumstances--Iraq is a gigantic clusterfuck. Game over, and THEY lost, which explains their zeal. Supposedly defeat is an orphan, but the latest Rovian game is to at least cast some doubt as to paternity. Sorry--this one is pure Team Bush DNA, a perfect match to the exclusion of all others.

And the voters know it.
