Cheney Mis-states Military Oath

Am I the only one who noticed? I hope not. But just in case, let me note that Vice President Dick Cheney made a huge misstatement to his West Point audience on May 26. I hope that, at a minimum, the West Point history majors noticed it. Near the end of his speech at the United States Military Academy commencement, Mr. Cheney stated:

"On your first day of Army life, each one of you raised your right hand and took an oath. And you will swear again today to defend the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That is your vow, that is the business you're in."

Oh, I forgot to mention that pesky little bit about the United States Constitution, silly me!

This was no slip of the forked tongue at all.

That sad mother f****.

He makes me sick.

I have absolutely no respect for the American's who voted Bush and Chaney in office.

Is it just me or does Chaney look constipated?
