Hi-freakin'-larious
Well, it would be if it wasn't all so frustrating; from Greg Mitchell's Pressing Issues column at Editor & Publisher:

Is it just me, or is Vice President Cheney starting to sound like another balding, rose-colored-glasses wearing, war spokesman, Muhammed Saeed al-Sahaf, better known as “Baghdad Bob”? Yesterday, after a week of serious criticism, and mockery, for claiming that the insurgency in Iraq was in its “last throes,” Cheney refused to back down, even after Gen. John Abizaid, our top military commander for the Middle East, proclaimed that the insurgency, in fact, was as strong as ever, and “a lot of work” remained to be done to defeat it. Earlier this week, GOP Senator Chuck Hagel had said he was sick of sunny assertions about the war from the White House, and declared that the U.S. indeed might be losing, not on the edge of victory. Yet Cheney said on Thursday, “If you look at what the dictionary says about 'throes,' it can still be a violent period.” He compared this time to the end of World War II when tough battles “occurred just a few months before the end. I see this as a similar situation.” Give this man a beret! Is it time to start calling him "D.C. Dick"? Or "Baghdad Dick"? Or perhaps "Bunker Bob"?

Ah semantics--where would politicians be without them. One note, though, Mr. Cheney (excuse me... Dick): you didn't just say "throes," you said "last throes." Anyhoo, back to Mitchell's column, here are a few gems from the Baghdad Bob archives for your enjoyment:

"No, I am not scared, and neither should you be." "We are in control, they are not in control of anything, they don't even control themselves!" "They think that by killing civilians and trying to distort the feelings of the people they will win." "I have detailed information about the situation...which completely proves that what they allege are illusions . . . They lie every day." "I can assure you that those villains will recognize in the future how they are pretending things which have never taken place." "The American press is all about lies! All they tell is lies, lies, and more lies!" "They are becoming hysterical. This is the result of frustration." "I speak better English than Bush." "Just look carefully, I only want you to look carefully. Do not repeat the lies of liars. Do not become like them." "This is unbiased: They are retreating on all fronts. Their effort is a subject of laughter throughout the world." "Most of you probably saw the movie 'Wag the Dog'. I hope you remember it." "These cowards have no morals. They have no shame about lying." "You can go and visit those places. Everything is okay. They are not in Najaf. They are nowhere. They are on the moon." "Those Iraqi fighters are slapping those gangsters on the face, and then when they flee, they will kick their backsides." "Rumsfeld, he needs to be hit on the head."

Hmmm... two years down the line and some of these quotes are starting to sound somewhat cogent.
