Yesterday
this article contained the following passage (on page 2):
For his part, Cheney went back on the attack in a rally inside a humid hangar at the municipal airport in Kissimmee [Florida] filled with several hundred pom-pom waving supporters, staff writer Lyndsey Layton reported. Cheney emphasized his themes of national security and the war on terrorism as he stood near a 1942 Stearman that was flown by former president George H. W. Bush as a young man.

"John Kerry is trying every which way to cover up his record on defense, which is one of weakness," Cheney said. "As we say in Wyoming, you can put all the lipstick you want on a pig. At the end of the day, it's still a pig."
Cheney added, "President Bush understands the war on terror and has a strategy for winning it. Senator Kerry does not." As he spoke, one woman shouted, "Kerry stinks!"
The rally was a love-fest in the conservative, rural Florida community. Three busloads of schoolchildren from the Heritage Christian School waited for an hour and a half to see Cheney and clap for the man they said speaks to the issues important to their lives.
Asked to name the country's biggest problem, 12-year-old Vivian Resto said, "Homosexuals. I think it's kind of gross, and my mom and I believe it should be a man and a woman."
Today almost the entire passage is gone. Unbelievable.
