A Case of the Pot Calling the Kettle Black

Lawrence "The Pot" Wilkerson this week on the BBC and in an AP story called Dick "The Kettle" Cheney black. Or did he say black-hearted?

In obvious preparation for a forthcoming tell-all book about his years working for Powell inside the Bush administration, Wilkerson, Powell's chief of staff, laid some heavy accusations at Cheney's cloven hooves - er - feet. What other reason would he have to be making such claims this late in the game?

What's interesting to me is that they are two sides of the same coin, albeit one side is notably older and more publicly evil than the other side.
