What the Cheney YouTube Clip Says About Democrats

Jon Stewart covered this tonight in a segment called "Even Dick Don't Know Dick". This clip of Cheney from 1994 showed up on YouTube recently:



Martin Lewis in The Huffington Post points out that the 1994 Cheney YouTube Clip Reveals Massive Dem Failure."Why on earth did the DNC not discover and secure a copy of this videotape at some point between the invasion of Iraq in May 2003 and the election in November 2004?" Or a transcript? What about the Kerry Campaign? This would have been a good rebuttal for the flip-flopper claims. The Democrats need to do better at opposition research.

I think it's also interesting that it didn't show up on The Daily Show and/or YouTube before now, since I'm sure LOTS of people are scouring the internet for this sort of thing, and The Daily Show has done several iterations of the "you don't know Dick" thing. Maybe it was stamped "Treat as Secret" or some other not-classified-but-scary designation created by Darth Cheney.
