Why the Cheney is David Bossie suddenly making the media rounds?
The guy was frikkin' FIRED by Newt Gingrich and Dan (Scumbag) Burton for altering transcripts, so why is he suddenly "credible" to the right-wingers?
Are they really that stupid?

2. MediaMatters.org has a piece on him

Appearing July 19 on FOX News Channel's morning show FOX & Friends, discredited conservative author David N. Bossie touted his new book, The Many Faces of John Kerry, recently released by conservative imprint WorldNetDaily Books (WND Books). WND Books describes Bossie's book as a "hard-hitting, ruthlessly honest political biography of Sen. John F. Kerry that will expose the real views of and dig up all the dirt on the 2004 Democratic nominee for president." But the very first page of Bossie's book demonstrates that the "ruthlessly honest" claim is false. According to an analysis by Media Matters for America, the book's very first assertion of fact -- three paragraphs into the book's introduction -- is a lie, as indicated by the very source Bossie cited.

3. He's todays main story at salon.com ...
"You can't teach an old attack dog new tricks"

It's a good writeup and worth the one day pass.

5. No, the media aren't that stupid
They think we're that stupid, which is rather insulting if you ask me.
