The notes from Dick Cheney’s FBI interview in the Valerie Plame leak investigation have just been released. Turns out that Cheney lied through his teeth, essentially channeling Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales:

Today, after successfully winning a lawsuit against the Department of Justice, under court order, CREW received documents related to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s interview with the FBI in the investigation into the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson’s covert CIA identity. The transcript reveals that Mr. Cheney – generally credited with razor sharp intellect and recall – demonstrated an astonishing inability to recollect even simple facts much less the numerous conversations others have testified to regarding his involvement in the administration’s efforts to discredit former Ambassador Joe Wilson.Mr. Cheney’s memory frequently failed to improve, even when confronted with his own hand-written notes.
