What A Dick

Dick "Lying Sack of Shit" Cheney had this to say yesterday:

Vice President Dick Cheney joined the White House attack on critics of the Iraq war Wednesday night when he told a conservative group that senators who had suggested that the Bush administration manipulated prewar intelligence were making "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city."

Mr. Cheney, who was the administration's toughest, most persistent advocate for the war in Iraq, depicted the senators as hypocrites swayed by antiwar sentiment and their own political ambitions.

"Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein," Mr. Cheney told the group, Frontiers of Freedom, at the Mayflower Hotel. "What we're hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war."

I'll admit that a lot of Democrats -- John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, for example -- were political cowards during the run-up to the Iraq Debacle, but it is laughable for Cheney to suggest that he and his administration did not manipulate prewar intelligence. It is time for the Democrats to do some serious knife-twisting.
