Dick Cheney, the New Baghdad Bob

Dick Cheney continues to be mocked for his recent comments about Iraq being in the "last throes" of the insurgency. Editor & Publisher's Greg Mithcell wonders if Dick Cheney has turned into the new "Baghdad Bob," the former Iraqi minister of information whose delusional, rosy pronouncements about the war made him a worldwide laughingstock. Blogger John Perr offers a side-by-side comparison of statements by Baghdad Bob and "DC Dick."

Read classic Baghdad Bob quotes and judge for yourself whether Cheney is channeling the spirit of the infamous Iraqi propagandist.

"The Daily Show," meanwhile, skewers Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in a hilarious bit titled "War of the Words," in which Jon Stewart picks apart their contradictory rhetoric and beats them over the head with a dictionary.
