Hogwash and Bullshit

Cheney says hogwash
Wolf Blitzer interviewed Darth Cheney following the State of the Union.
Vice President Dick Cheney on Wednesday dismissed as "hogwash" the suggestion that blunders may have hurt the administration's credibility on Iraq and led members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to question President Bush's plan to send more troops to Baghdad.

If anybody knows hogwash, it’s Cheney.

Rumor Mill spews bullshit about Obama attending a Muslim school
Rush Limbaugh claims he got it from Fox News who claimed they got it from Insight Magazine who claimed Hillary Clinton’s campaign started the rumor.

Or maybe it was the voices in their heads told them.

Barack Obama denies the rumors as ludicrous.

Vowing not to be "Swift boated," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., aggressively pushed back yesterday against "ludicrous" rumors reported on Fox News that he attended a radical Islamic school.

Taking on Fox hosts Steve Doocy and John Gibson by name, Obama's campaign blasted the "malicious, irresponsible charges" they aired.

"You have to take control and make sure that folks know the facts and not just these innuendos from the right-wing smear machine," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton. "We will aggressively address any charges that are leveled."

The conservative Insight magazine reported last weekend that Obama attended a radical madrassa in Indonesia as a boy. The Fox News Channel repeated the story several times.

The Illinois Democrat, who is Christian, lived in Jakarta for a few years as a boy with his mother and stepfather. Reporters for CNN and The Associated Press went to his elementary school and found it a secular institution attended by students of all faiths.

"The notion that somehow, at the age of 6 or 7, I was being trained for something other than math, science and reading, is ludicrous," Obama said on ABC.

John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee, says he regrets not fighting back when his Vietnam War record was smeared by opponents calling themselves "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth."

A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.
