If there’s one thing I’ve learned from the Bush/Cheney campaign, it’s that if you repeat a lie (or shall I say an “intentionally misleading statement”) often enough, with the aid of the conservative media echo chamber, people will begin to believe it.

Vice President Dick Cheney has repeatedly, during interviews with the press and in campaign events across the country, emphasized an established, operational connection between the Sept. 11 attacks and Saddam Hussein.

The Sept. 11 Commission refuted it, and now Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld also refute the connection. But Cheney continues to say it or imply that they were connected.

Vice President Cheney, I find you guilty of telling lies and making serial distortions to the American people.

Hey Dick: Liar, liar pants on fire!
