I was going through some old bookmarks and I found this amusing side-by-side from about six months ago:

Now: "It's bad enough when politicians turn their backs on a war they voted for and supported when it was popular," Cheney said Monday. "But no one in politics, regardless of party, should hesitate to object when an American soldier at war is mocked and insulted."

Then: Delegates to the Republican National Convention found a new way to take a jab at Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's Vietnam service record: by sporting adhesive bandages with small purple hearts on them.

As Kos asked at the time, "Do they even believe the shit they say?" (Answer: seems unlikely.)
