Dick Cheney: tethered to reality?

From Hardball 11/08/05

Remember when Dick Cheney said it was pretty well confirmed before he didn't?

                                                   Video-WMP    Video-QT

In '01, Cheney said this on MTP:  CHENEY:  It‘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. 

on 6/19/04 CNBC, he said:

GLORIA BORGER, TV SHOW HOST:  You have said in the past that it was, quote, “pretty well confirmed.”  

CHENEY:  No, I never said that.  BORGER:  OK.

CHENEY:  I never said that.  BORGER:  I think that is...

CHENEY:  Absolutely not. 

This clip shows the real Dr. Evil. He knows exactly what he said in 01', and as Mikey says:   Although I have to say I just was struck watching that Gloria Borger interview juxtaposed with the “Meet the Press” comment.---I mean, it just—it does raise questions about the tether to reality here, which I think is at the heart of much of the controversy about his prewar statements and the role he played in the run-up to war.
