I am posting this article because I cannot believe the press is making a big deal of this. Perhaps I am contributing to the problem.- "On Feb. 1, 2001, the vice president thanked Edwards by name at a Senate prayer breakfast and sat beside him during the event.

- On April 8, 2001, Cheney and Edwards shook hands when they met off-camera during a taping of NBC's "Meet the Press," moderator Tim Russert said Wednesday on "Today."
Boy is that unforgetable, I would remember these days the rest of my life. It would go along with the day we landed on the moon or the day JFK got shot. I cannot believe he forgot this vital incident after only 3 1/2 years.
- On Jan. 8, 2003, the two met when the first-term North Carolina senator accompanied Elizabeth Dole to her swearing-in by Cheney as a North Carolina senator, Edwards aides also said.
Edwards didn't forget their prayer-breakfast meeting. The Democratic vice presidential candidate noted the discrepancy at a post-debate rally in a Cleveland park, calling it an example of Cheney "still not being straight with the American people."
How about it being an example of Edwards not being straight with the American people by trying to deflect the issue of what a lousy senator he was. Notice none of the meetings mentioned above had anything to do with work which is Cheney's entire point? |
