They must be exhausted…

…they’re starting to tell the truth.

First, on “Face the Nation” on Sunday, President Cheney finally revealed himself:

“Most of my predecessors spent a good part of their time as president—as vice president—getting ready to run for president.”

Then, in his Q&A in Cleveland on Monday, Bush accidentally provided an honest answer to Lenin’s old “Who whom?” question:

“But now that I’m on Iran, the threat to Iran, of course — (applause) — the threat from Iran is, of course, their stated objective to destroy our strong ally Israel.”

Or maybe it’s the Ambien talking?

What really confuses me, though, is that the audience in Cleveland applauded Bush’s blunder. Is there such a thing as a sarcastic ovation?
