Cheney: “A real liar never stops lying.” (NYT)
Snippets from:
Op-Ed Columnist

Published: November 30, 2005

The Autumn of the Patriarchy

How dare Murtha suggest that Cheney dodged and dodged and dodged and dodged and dodged the draft? Murtha thinks he knows about war just because he served in one and was a marine for 37 years? Vice started his own war. Now that's a credential!

It always goes this way with the cut-and-run crowd. First they start nitpicking the war, complaining about little things like the lack of armor for the troops. Then they complain that there aren't enough troops. Well, that would just require more armor that we don't have. Then they kvetch about using incendiary weapons in a city like Falluja. Vice likes the smell of white phosphorus in the morning.

Why do Harry Reid and his Democratic turncoats think they can call the White House on the carpet? Do they think Vice would fear to lie about lying about the rationale for going to war? A real liar never stops lying.

Republican moderates are running scared in the House, worried about re-election. Even senators seem to have forgotten which side their bread is oiled on. Ted Stevens let oil company executives get caught lying about the energy task force meeting, while Vice can't even get a little thing like torture chambers through the Senate. What's so wrong with a little torture?

3. also another smack at Judy Miller, imho

Every time Judy goes out an protests her innocence and benign intentions, like she did yesterday, MoDo sticks another big needle in her literary JM voodoo doll.

What I love about MoDo is that she has gotten totally blase and casual about smacking down BushCo. Whacks 'em like the recidivist whiny shit-filled little brats they are. Assumes them to be criminals and dopes. None of that defensiveness crap for her. Ridicule is what they hate most and ridicule she deals in spades.
