Dick Cheney calls 9/11 the 'highest moment' of the Bush administration
On Fox News yesterday, Chris Wallace asked Dick Cheney to identify the "highest moment" of the last eight years. It wasn't a trick question.

Cheney pondered this for a few moments before answering, "Well, I think the most important, the most compelling, was 9/11 itself, and what that entailed, what we had to deal with."

Wallace followed up by noting that the highest moment was also the lowest, which Cheney was quick to agree with.

Now, to be fair, Cheney didn't exactly say that terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 Americans was the "highest moment" of the Bush presidency; he instead changed the question a bit to make 9/11 the "most important" moment.

1. In other words, Bush peaked during his first year. Bush says the high point was catching a big fish.

14. and at a cost of only 3,000 give or take a few hundred . . .
a true bargain in the eyes of the neocons
