Oliphant: Cheney is a Mendacious Bag of Excrement
Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Op-ed / Cheney's fading credibility: "I am always diligent about disclosing the fact that my daughter works for the Kerry-Edwards campaign, but for five years before she made that career move I had noticed something about John Edwards that is much more relevant to Tuesday evening's debate. In all my dealings with him since he ran for the Senate in 1998, I have never once had to begin a paragraph with those damning words: Edwards later explained.

As he was famously while a lawyer, he is fanatically meticulous in his preparation and research into issues. That, much more than his sunny disposition, is why he so clearly belonged on that stage here."
