Dick Cheney appears today to spew his lies (yes, lies) -- and to continue his campaign against Nancy Pelosi. Think Progress has the details on Cheney's obsessive effort to smear the Speaker. The Bush brain-trust must be really worried if they're letting Cheney, the most toxic and despised person on their team, lead the Iraq lobbying campaign. They do know Cheney will say anything -- no matter how outrageous -- and that the media will dutifully report his words without any challenge. Let's see if Schieffer gives Cheney the free ride that the Veep always gets from Russert.
Iraq will be the dominant topic. Fortunately, Jim Webb is on the air today. He really is one of the best voices the Democrats have on the war. Zinni doesn't pull any punches either. Here's the line up:
