Of course Cheney loves Lieberman -- ever since Joe was such a wimp in their 2000 debate. But if the media needs any reason to know how insane the Bush team is, the fact that Cheney suggests that Al Qaeda is emboldened by Lieberman's loss is all the evidence they need:
Mr. Cheney offered warm praise for Mr. Lieberman, who was his opponent for vice president in 2000, though he said he did not want his remarks to be construed as an endorsement of Mr. Lieberman.Terrorists have benefitted immensely from the Bush/Cheney regime. Bush/Cheney have bogged us down in an unwinnable war. They've made us look weak to the world. They've created a breeding ground for terrorists in Iraq. They've undermined American values -- and destroyed our stature in the world. It's laughable to think that Joe Lieberman's loss is even registering with the terrorists.
He cast Mr. Lieberman’s loss in ominous terms, suggesting that it would hearten American terrorist enemies. Terrorists, he said, are “betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.
How can the media just not burst in to laughter when they hear these outrageous claims from Cheney? The media and the voters can't fall for this same spin from the Bush team this year, too.
