Kerry lies desperately about Dean's environmental record
Advertisements [?]
Proof of Kerry's lies:

"Kerry said Dean, when he was the Vermont governor, signed a compact in 1993 with Maine and Texas to send nuclear waste to Sierra Blanca, a plan opposed by civil rights groups. Bush was the governor of Texas at the time."

The compact with Maine and Texas was only about sending waste to Texas, not specifically to Sierra Blanca:

Ann Richards (D) was the governor of Texas at the time.

Well, it's understandable that Kerry is getting that desperate...

"Kerry, who cast himself as the early front-runner, has been frustrated by Dean's fund-raising success and retired Army general Wesley Clark's momentum. Polls show him trailing Dean in New Hampshire, a state Kerry must win."

...but it's still unusually brazen lying about factual stuff.

Note to the moderators who'll probably consider locking this as a dupe: shall we start a competition of who gets to first "reserve" which article and post it here with a lie-filled subject line and selected quotes that favor his candidate and after that anyone wishing to protest can only kick the lie-filled subject line?
