I think this url is a George Soros hack, since many people mistake .org and .com. Cheney mispoke, but Soros set up the url hack.

Didn't catch what it was all about, but Susan was waving a transcript in front of her face calling Kristol a liar, and Kristol screams back at his camera in Washington "I did not appear on this program to be called a liar!" Lucky for Susan, he wasn't sitting right next to her, otherwise I think she'd be nursing a hangover and a 5 alarm headache.

Just guessing but maybe tonights debate will age Edwards a lil bit. Some grey here and a wrinkle or two there and he'd look just like Jerry Van Dyke.

It was a classic TV moment that I wish I had loaded the videotape to record.

I have a feeling the clip will show up somewhere on the Blogosphere.

Nope...too tired, but it was a classic FOX moment.

and when Bill Kristol finished unloading on Susan Estrich for calling him a liar, Rich Lowery did the same thing. Both he and Kristol pointed out how Edwards did not answer the questions he was asked about Kerry's votes. Susan could have disagreed with them without calling their truthfulness into question, and that's basically what Kristol told her.....in no uncertain terms!

By the way....after Kristol unloaded on her, she was speechless..did not utter another word.

How does private citizen Cheney in 1998 swear in the newly elected Senator Edwards?

That's a good question.

Now they are saying that they were together at a prayer breakfast.

Ahem, I was once IN the West Wing when George Bush was IN the White House residence.

So does that mean we have met?

According to MSNBC's poll, Edwards won bigtime. I saw that earlier post here about the Dem's spammage to the world on going to the polls on the websites, I recommend everyone here go to MSNBC and vote for the real winner. The man with class who didn't have to mention his boss's name every other freakin' second. (I swear, if Edwards reguratated the name JOHN KERRY one more time, I was gonna puke it up myself).
I would go to every poll you can find and vote the RIGHT way.

And to the liberals....remember that the Terrorists want you to vote for Kerry/Edwards. I hope you can live with that decision.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit if someone at GLAAD decided to get all insulted by it...

She was talking about black women, not the entire black community. She wanted to know what the USG was going to do to address it. Basically, it is a matter of personal responsibility. Blacks also make up a disproportionate share of the inmate problem, which is even a greater problem in terms of numbers. Most of them however are men.

My point is that Ifill was quite biased in her questioning. Some examples from the transcript.

Question 5 -- Is Cheney saying a Kerry presidency would be dangerous?

IFILL: Mr. Vice President, a new question for you. When the president says that Senator Kerry is emboldening enemies and you say that we could get hit again if voters make the wrong choice in November, are you saying that it would be a dangerous thing to have John Kerry as president?

Question 1 -- The report you requested said there was no link between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.

IFILL: Vice President Cheney, there have been new developments in Iraq, especially having to do with the administration's handling.

Paul Bremer, the former head of the Coalition Provisional Authority, gave a speech in which he said that we have never had enough troops on the ground, or we've never had enough troops on the ground.

Donald Rumsfeld said he has not seen any hard evidence of a link between al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. Was this approved -- of a report that you requested that you received a week ago that showed there was no connection between Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Saddam Hussein?

Question 4 -- What did Kerry say about "global test"?

IFILL: New question to you, Senator Edwards, but I don't want to let go of the global test question first, because ... I want people to understand exactly what it is, as you said, that Senator Kerry did say.

IFILL: He said, "You've got to do" -- you know, he was asked about preemptive action at the last debate -- he said, "You've got to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you're doing what you're doing and can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons." What is a global test if it's not a global veto?

I don't have the entire transcript yet, but the tenor and substance of most of her questions were meant to put Cheney on the defensive. Her questions to Edwards were given so that Edwards could clarify and rebut issues that came up in the Bush-Kerry debate. The global test was one of them. She made sure Edwards had an additional opportunity to address this issue before moving to the next question.

I watched most of the debate. Cheney clearly came out ahead. Edwards appears to be better than Kerry. That's all for tonight.

Anybody else notice the strange way Edwards brow wrinkled? Could it be that he has been hitting Kerry's Botox stash?

Maybe Edwards woulda been much nicer to Cheney if theVice Pres. had walked on stage wearing a neck brace and pushing a walker and sucking on an oxygen bottle. Can you say "litigation"?
