Post-Debate Ramblings

Cheney spent alot of time repeating and rehashing a limited amout of talking points, and simply spewing distortions, fabrications and character assignation. Denying again that he had suggested a link between 9-11 and Iraq, despite the fact that I've seen clips where he suggests just that. But the lying has proven successful in the past since the vast majority of people don't bother to read or think, and will believe it if it sounds right, and Cheney delivers it well. That mumbling, snarly, eye-rolling delivery might play well to the converted, but I found it freighting. He reminds me of an evil HS principal some times, othertimes like Darth Vader (when he takes off the mask). Yes, he is more presidential than chimp boy, but how much of a compliment is that? Perhaps Edwards mentioned Sabarro's Pizza in an attempt to make Cheney's arteries harden and bring on another heart attack? Nice recap of Cheney's voting record, seemed like an effective punch there. Tom Brokaw just said that Cheney reminded him of George Foreman.....great, can't wait to see "The Dick Cheney-Fat Reducing-Heart Saving Grill"! I didn't think Gwen Ifill did such a great job, but also not looking forward to Charles Gibson either. Let the spin begin....
