Incredibly, AP (not The Onion) just released this headline: "Cheney: Weapons Report Justifies Iraq War"

MIAMI - Vice President Dick Cheney asserted on Thursday that a finding by the chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq that Saddam Hussein's government produced no weapons of mass destruction after 1991 justifies rather than undermines President Bush's decision to go to war. [emphasis added]

Good lord. They're gonna fall all the way on their sword over this one. Which is fine by me. Keep digging, boys.

Meanwhile, back in Reality Land...

Documenting the many lies, fibs, misstatements and misdirects of the Veep has become a mini boom industry. Here's a few samples:

A quick "Cheney vs Reality" video from the Democrats on Tuesday's Veep Debate.
Kevin Drum of Washington Monthly has a neat list of just some of Cheney's Top Debate Whoppers from the other night.
And the Dems have put out their own Top 10 Lies of Dick Cheney list.

The effects of all of that and the continuing array of crappy news for Bush is starting to show more and more as all his chickens come home to roost just in time. The latest AP Poll of likely voters now puts Kerry over Bush 50% to 46%. Perhaps Good really will prevail over Evil after all.
