Truth to Tell

I mentioned earlier that someone would surely make a commercial juxtaposing things Cheney said in the debate with footage of him saying the opposite. Sure enough, there's one now up at www.democrats.org. It's called "Cheney vs. Reality" and I wish they hadn't included the part where he says he never met Edwards. Even if it is lie (as opposed to a simple memory lapse), it's not in the same category as denying he ever spoke of a link between Iraq and 9/11.

The premise is that an administration that would lie about the small things would not hesitate to lie about the big things. I think they have that backwards. A lot of us will lie if a friend asks if we like their new haircut…but we'd never lie about something that might get someone killed. Or in this case, thousands of someones.
