George and Dick had eight years to present their case and promote their policy. Eight years is a very long time.

He had the opportunity to say all of these things while he was in office. People feel like they were the bigger liars, so they voted for the guy who at least had the good sense to lie in a way people would vote for.

Sorry, but Dick's ramblings are not of any interest to me, and he should have the good sense to shut up before he makes himself look like a bigger idiot. John Stewart said it best, "It's like asking Wyle E. Cyote how to catch the road runner".

Honestly, do you really think that the invasion of Iraq was not a giant mistake? Do we really want to take the advice of the architects of that mistake when it comes to fixing it? If you hire a mechanic to fix your car, and he totally wrecks the engine, do you want him to be the one to tell you how to fix it?
