Think Progress writes about Lynne Cheney's appearance on NPR's Diane Rehm Show (to hawk her new book A Time for Freedom. Cheney says neither the President or the Vice President have ever said there's a connection between 9/11 and Saddam. Obviously this isn't true, whether she's lying or ignorant I don't know.
This is a perfect example of how lame the media is today. Here's a clearly false statement and yet Rehm doesn't call it false and doesn't cite any examples. The best she can offer is "I think that a great many people perhaps have had the impression that that is something the President and vice president have done." Maybe it's easier to do for an article as opposed to an interview, but Rehm was the one who brought it up. Think Progress at least cites 3 quotes, so now I want to hear Lynne Cheney's response.
