That Dick Cheney's a funny guy

So, this Democrat says the committee he heads in Congress will no longer officially refer to a "global war on terror."

So, then Dick Cheney says this Democrat guy is doing a bad thing. And whole bunches of right-wing opinionists jump on this Democrat guy and accuse him of everything from terrorist sympathies to the Lindbergh kidnapping.

So, then the good guys, the lefties in the blogosphere, remind one and all that various poobahs in the Bush administration, including Bush hisself, have been urging for several years now that the "war on terror" label be dropped in favor of something else.

Boy, you can't make up this kind of stuff.
