The Bush administration took offense at being called intelligence manipulating liars. Vice President Cheney called the accusations, "revisionism of the most corrupt and shameless variety." He relied on backbone positive veteran, John McCain, for credibility, "Senator John McCain put it best: 'It is a lie to say that the president lied to the American people."
Chappaquiddick waterboarding champ, Ted Kennedy, responded by saying, "In fact, the only thing dishonest and reprehensible is the way the administration distorted, misrepresented and manipulated the intelligence to justify a war America never should have fought."
Meanwhile, intelligence was being manipulated in a different way by many of the president's supporters in Kansas.
