Lying SOB
You know?

In other times, this would be a big story. But today with the crazy-making Bush administration, the same folks who have taking spin into the lying zone, it's just not much of a story:
(CBS) The White House denied Friday that Vice President Dick Cheney had endorsed "water boarding" – a technique many consider torture – when he said earlier this week that dunking terrorism suspects in water during interrogations was a "no-brainer."

"You know as a matter of common sense that the vice president of the United States is not going to be talking about water boarding. Never would. Never does. Never will," White House press secretary Tony Snow said.
Naw. The V.P. was talking about giving terraist suspects a glass of water when they're thirsty! Or perhaps it was the bath they give terraists each night to keep them sparkling clean!

NO. No. Wait. I've got it. The Chen-ster thought they were talking about the recreational activities that are provided to detainees! Waterboarding, much more fun that water skiing!!!!

This crap is so tiresome. Darth Cheney is a flat out wacko. The only problem is that there's a whole lotta people out there who think he's the cat's meow.
