David Shuster Hardblogger Hits Chaney

I was over looking at Eric's musings and stumbled onto this (posted today):

In the same speech in Cincinatti (yes, it was the equivalent of a daily double) the Vice President linked Iraq to those responsible for 9-11, (despite the assertion from President Bush last year that there was no connection.) Cheney mentioned the invasion of Afghanistan in which the U.S. punished the Taliban for harboring Al-Qaeda. Then Cheney said, "In Iraq, we had a similar situation." Huh?

Earlier this week, Cheney suggested that a vote for the Democrats is a vote for another terrorist attack. Quote: "If we make the wrong choice, then the danger is we'll get hit again." Cheney also warned about a return to the "pre 9/11 mindset." Pre 9/11 mindset? As in, ignoring a White House intelligence briefing titled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States?"

Four years ago, Cheney offered this in the 2000 VP debate: "I clearly have spent a lot of time in executive positions, running large organizations." He was, of course, referring to his tenure as CEO of Halliburton. The Securities and Exchange Commission is now examining Halliburton's accounting practices and the Pentagon is reviewing Halliburton's overbilling in Iraq.

Now here is what I think is interesting:

We have David Gregory getting the stare down from His AWOLness, now we have this piece from Shuster. Both these guys work in the trenches. You have to wonder if what they are seeing out there isn't causing them to push back in NY (Tweety, etc.) to have some second thoughts about The Gang that Can't AWOL Straight.

Yea, yea, I know corporate media, kool-aid, and all that. But not everyone is under control, folks.
