Dick Cheney - inveterate tax-hike fiend

So, GOP, let's play by your rules on tax-hike votes. Dick Cheney in the house voted 144 times to increase taxes. As Jon Chait says, according to George W. Bush's logic, this puts Dick somewhere in the neighborhood of Che Guevara on taxes.

You'd think with all those tax-hikes he supported, Dick would think the government had money to afford all those defense programs he wanted to cut, the same program's John Kerry's opposition is such a problem for the republicans.

Of course, you'd also think that having said "Thank you, .....Senator Edwards for being here." would be something the VP would remember having said (and thus remember having sat next to John Edwards at a 2001 prayer breakfast) before claiming never to have met John Edwards on any of the (decidedly fewer than every) Tuesdays he was at the Senate.

Or you can just vote to get this bloody farce of an administration out.
