Ed Schultz is right
Big Eddie's third rule on "Righties": They think you're stupid! That's not a figure of speech. It's literal. They literally think you and I are stupid.
Today Vice President Cheney sought to "clean up" his remarks from Tuesday. In the process he grossly insults the intelligence of all Americans.
In remarks to a group of supporters on Tuesday, Cheney said, "It's absolutely essential that eight weeks from today, on Nov. 2, we make the right choice, because if we make the wrong choice then the danger is that we'll get hit again and we'll be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the United States."
Today he says, "I did not say if Kerry is elected, we will be hit by a terrorist attack." That avoids being a bald-faced lie only on a technicality. On Tuesday he didn't specifically name John Kerry. But, it's patently obvious what he meant on Tuesday and who he was talking about.
In today's interview Cheney went on to say, "Whoever is elected president has to anticipate more attacks." No shit, Mr. VP! But that is clearly not what you said on Tuesday, nor is it what you clearly meant on Tuesday.
This from the same man who lied in 2000 by claiming, "Governor Bush and I are also absolutely determined that [we] will restore a tone of civility and decency to the debate in Washington."
