Are Cheney's lies obvious to Mr. John Q. Public?
They're very obvious to me. General practitioners in Wyoming are not paying $100,000 for malpractice insurance. We have not lost 1 in 10 ob-gyns. But how does Mr. Public know this?

Cheney's lies are disgusting, but are they obvious to the general public?

2. I agree in the respect that
