This Is So Funny

Talking Points Memo is keeping track of the GOP blowhards who are repeating the line about China drilling for oil just off Cuba, close to the country to the north there.

Dick Cheney was the biggie on this, who retracted the statement. But since then, others have jumped on the outrage bandwagon to repeat it.
