A note from TPM reader <$NoAd$>RW …
If the Republican’s were given the gift Dick Cheney gave the Democrats last night, Peggy Noonan would be on TV today wondering aloud why Dick Cheney felt compelled to lie about something so silly, and so easy to refute.
It’s very odd, Peggy would muse… Peggy would then sweetly wonder if Dick Cheney wasn’t a compulsive liar. She would detect a ‘pattern’ of lies stretching from his house days, to the Iraq hype, to the recent debate. She would then wonder if it wasn’t a pathological problem.
Finally she would shrug and say ‘I am not saying the Vice President definitely has a compulsive lying disorder, I’m just saying it’s worth expert analysis.’
You can imagine the rest. A two week parade of experts mulling the possibility that Dick Cheney is a compulsive liar. Jokes on the radio and TV. Headlines about Cheney’s ‘illness’. etc.
Where is the Democratic Peggy Noonan?
Sounds right to me …
