Laughing At Darth Cheney

Not even Joe Klein bothers to take this guy seriously anymore. He does a grade-A snarky translation of what Cheney said in his little press availability today and what he meant.

The preferred response, really the only response to Dick Cheney, to anything he says, should not be offense or anger but laughter. He is a comical figure who's on an unbroken "I'm wrong and I'm lying" streak for six years. Anyone who takes him seriously ought to get real. Nobody in the country listens to a word he says.

CNN might want to heed that before running headlines that say "Cheney attacks defeatist Dem plan." Thanks for the editorial comment there, most trusted name in news.
