Melanie -

••  Did you hear about the lie Dick Cheney told on Wednesday about China and Cuba drilling for oil off the Florida coast?  No?  Then you weren't watching Fox's Neil Cavuto who parroted the same lie just hours after Cheney did.

Outrageous Quote:  Dick Morris was a big hit last week for this outsourced smear: "(David Horowitz) said that all of his old associates, all of the left-wingers who he knew as a kid are now in the Obama campaign and he rattled off a whole bunch of names. These guys are not Democrats. These guys are, – Stalinist, is the phrase he used. And it gives you real pause... It's very hard for me to believe that this guy's a sleeper agent and a Manchurian candidate. On the other hand, you've got to look at it."
