liar, liar, pants on fire!

Lemme tell ya, there's a lot of web pages accusing the candidates of lying. I ran an unscientific test to see how many Google hits there were, if I searched for "John Doe " lies and (alternately) "John Doe lies". I won't be a pundit and interpret the results; rather, I'm simply posting those here for our amusement:
Google search term:"Name" lies"Name lies"
George W. Bush
(George Bush)
519,000
(364,000)
732
(1,180)
John Kerry426,000777
Dick Cheney156,000149
John Edwards75,50011

Republican lies675,000
(520,000)
881
(1,329)
Democrat lies501,500788

Worthwhile reading (after last night's Veep Debate): Pepe Escobar's article: Stretching Cheney

... and finally, Dick Cheney meant to say factcheck.org, but instead he said factcheck.com which (after some Swift [sic] redirection of a previously non-existant domain) points to an anti-Bush site. Oooooooops! -- Nice work, Dick!
