I would have loved to hear Cheney turn it around on Russert, pointing out that even Russert was pushing Salman Pak intelligence on Cheney back before the war, asking if he STILL believed there was no link between 9/11 and Saddam.
However, this was one of the best refutations to the MSM/Dem line that the administration tied Iraq to 9/11...Cheney drew a distinction between Iraq & 9/11 and Iraq & alQ. The MSM continues to rely on ignorance to push for high negative polling.
I love Cheney's response to one of Russert's dumbass questions: "Tim, let me walk you through it..." LOL
"The MSM continues to rely on ignorance to push for high negative polling."
The polls (Which should, IMO, properly be labeled as PUSH polls)are exactly the same straw the dims and the MSM have been grasping for the last six years.
They're all a bit like a buck-naked Emperor, sitting out in the middle of the square and asking all his toadies' opinions of his fine new wardrobe.
The DNC comes up with a "new" talking point, runs over to their buddies in the MSM with it, they all conduct a "poll" that says exactly what the DNC lugnuts want to hear and then the NYSlime, WaPo or another of the usual suspects carve this barrel of bilge in stone by running an oped (either front page or actually with the editorials just for a change of pace).
I've given up trying to figure out if the entire lib establishment has become delusional because of some bad drugs they took back in the 70's or if they've become so totally obsessed and lacking in fundamental beliefs that these are the only tactics they have.
