So it's only a coincidence that Haliburton got no bid contracts? Yeah, Him and Bushy had no say at all. Everything they do is out of love of this great nation.

Is that a new one? I read one earlier explaining how Cheney had properly cut financial ties and incentives to Halliburton. Not suprising... it's a legal requirement of running for office, duh.

That has nothing to do with doing old friends new favors.

The old friends-new favors argument is at least plausible. This Kerry ad is still lies and I think that may have been N8's point...

I think the title from this article at factcheck might pretty well sum it up tho':

Misinforming Voters From The Stump
Bush and Kerry both pepper their standard political speeches with misleading claims.

Kerry lies about lying...

Bush lies so much he forgets their lies.

Bush lies so much he forgets their lies.

Is it still lying if you're too stupid to know your statement is blatantly false?

More quality effort from the media - everyone does it (NY Times, CBS, Fox, etc...), so I guess its ok

On Friday, Fox ran a story by chief political correspondent Carl Cameron with phony quotations from John Kerry. The bogus lines speak for themselves:

"Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!"

"Women should like me! I do manicures."

"I'm metrosexual -- he's a cowboy," the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent. A "metrosexual" is defined as an urbane male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.[1]

Incredibly, Fox insists the sham story was a good-humored mistake due to "fatigue." While a Fox staff memo called this "a dismissable offense," the network has failed to take any serious action.

If that guy is their chief, I would hate to see what the people below him pull off...
