Star Tribune drops the bomb on BushCo.
Looks like the Heartland is beginning to wake up.
Dick Cheney is not a public relations man for the Bush administration, not a spinmeister nor a political operative. He's the vice president of the United States, and when he speaks in public, which he rarely does, he owes the American public the truth. In his appearance on "Meet the Press" Sunday, Cheney fell woefully short of truth. On the subject of Iraq, the same can be said for President Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his deputy, Paul Wolfowitz. But Cheney is the latest example of administration mendacity, and therefore a good place to start in holding the administration accountable.
What follows is a list - with attribution and links - of articles which disprove Cheney's lies. Calling out the Thug Cabal - it isn't just for Krugman any more.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
What was especially nice about this is that the editor who penned that piece, Jim Boyd, made a cameo appearance in the comments at Atrios' thread about this. Apparently he reads the blogs and cited such on their web version (2cents).
These blogs really have become the Left's answer to the well funded right-wing think tanks and more and more professional journalists (almost an oxymoron these days) are reading them for leads and stories. Krugman admitted as much in his interview at CalPundit.
Go Blogosphere!
