So Busted
You just knew last night when the VP tried to get a dig in about Senator Edwards' failure to show up to the Senate, that it would be easy to debunk. And thus it begins.
Here is a pic of the two of them together at a prayer breakfast in 2001.
Further, ABC News has listed two other dates, so far, that the two ran into one another:
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."
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.
What is even better is that, if you watched the debate last night, Elizabeth Edwards made a bee line to VP Cheney and said something to him. According to Senator Edwards, she was reminding the Veep that they had met before. Classic. I suppose you will get Republilcans who will start a campaign to muzzle her for speaking out, much the same way they suggested Kerry's wife Teresa should be muzzled for telling a conservative hack to "shove it."
This reminds me a bit of 1992, when the media refused to play the game the Bush/Quayle team laid out for them. In that election, the media was showing its bias by questioning the president. We should hear that charge very soon.
