I love the comment from the VP the other evening - he knows the score in Washington and I am certain he is pleased at long last he is being given license to say a thing or two.

"Most of you know, I have spent a lot of years in public service, and first came to work in Washington back in the late 1960s. I know what it’s like to operate in a highly charged political environment, in which the players on all sides of an issue feel passionately and speak forcefully. In such an environment people sometimes lose their cool, and yet in Washington you can ordinarily rely on some basic measure of truthfulness and good faith in the conduct of political debate. But in the last several weeks we have seen a wild departure from that tradition. And the suggestion that’s been made by some U.S. senators that the President of the United States or any member of this administration purposely misled the American people on pre-war intelligence is one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city. (Applause.) "

Ex-senator Mitchell on FNC now making the Democrat claims. He abuses the polls and is saying Bush has lost national support and lost credibility, and will bring troops home next year as the Democrats want them to.

Spin, spin, spin... Make a false claim, lie, and pray people will believe you.
