There's no news here. None at all. These people aren't even trying to be remotely believable anymore. It's as if they all know that everyone's made up their minds, so what's the point in wasting any time on facts?
Over at Think Progress, we have Judd catching PowerTools' AssRocket flat-out lying. Assrocket (emphasis added):
“Murtha’s suggestion that the administration said Iraq had nuclear weapons is absurd. (Why don’t talk show hosts ever seem to call Democrats on these wild misrepresentations?)”
At which point, Judd helpfully gives us Dick "Go fuck yourself or I'll shoot you in the face" Cheney from back in 2003:
We know that based on intelligence that he has been very, very good at hiding these kinds of efforts. He’s had years to get good at it and we know he has been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons. And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons. I think Mr. ElBaradei frankly is wrong.
What can you say to this? How can you possibly respond when someone's dishonesty is this fucking blatant and breathtaking? How exactly do you react when "Big Time" Dick says, on December 9, 2001 on "Meet the Press" (emphasis added):
RUSSERT: The plane on the ground in Iraq used to train non-Iraqi hijackers.
Do you still believe there is no evidence that Iraq was involved in September 11?
CHENEY: Well, what we now have that's developed since you and I last talked, Tim, of course, was that report that's been pretty well confirmed, that he did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack.
then completely denies having ever said any such thing. What do you say?
Seriously. What do you say?
