Fortunately Dick Cheney has the ultimately superb defense:

HIS EXPERIENCE AND BRAIN!

Goodnight Johnny Edwards!

[NautiNurse]

wealthy trial lawyer was his ability to "channel"

Between Edward's "channeling" and Willie's "Parallel Lives,"--the psychobabble is too much. Prozac, anyone?

[South40]

Channeling, of course, is a new-age phenom akin to spiritual mediums

I hear he's good at it.

[GSlob]

Well, Cheney should discreetly carry in his pocket a clove of garlic and maybe a small crucifix. Then at his first attempt at channeling during the debate Edwards would come crashing down with Deaniac scream and a cloud of sulfurous stench. On live TV it will be hugely entertaining.

Chanelling to a ambulance chaser's jury and trying the same on a guy like Cheney will be two very different events LOL

[dc-zoo]

Cheney will change his "Channel". Little John will need to change his drawers afterwards.

I realize that Cheney will never win the debate scored on the People Magazine scale (hair, sex appeal, etc.) - but he's going to run like a white hot buzz saw through butter by any non-frivolous measure. Edwards is a lightweight - that is the central error of Kerry's choice - and the contrast between Cheney's innate gravitas and Edwards in the VP debate will be sweet.

JOHN EDWARDS SECRET WEAPON FOR THE VP DEBATE

Tears.

[Jet Jaguar]

What? No tin foil alert? LOL!

[MJY1288]

Dick Cheney will rattle John Edwards so bad that Edwards eyes will be blinking at warp speed when trying to defend himself and the cadaver we have come to know as John Kerry

[KittyKares]

I hope this is a joke.

From Best of the Web Today by BY JAMES TARANTO (Thursday, July 8, 2004 4:39 p.m. EDT)

In January the New York Times described this great moment in personal-injury law:

In 1985, a 31-year-old North Carolina lawyer named John Edwards stood before a jury and channeled the words of an unborn baby girl.

Referring to an hour-by-hour record of a fetal heartbeat monitor, Mr. Edwards told the jury: "She said at 3, 'I'm fine.' She said at 4, 'I'm having a little trouble, but I'm doing O.K.' Five, she said, 'I'm having problems.' At 5:30, she said, 'I need out.' "

But the obstetrician, he argued in an artful blend of science and passion, failed to heed the call. By waiting 90 more minutes to perform a breech delivery, rather than immediately performing a Caesarean section, Mr. Edwards said, the doctor permanently damaged the girl's brain.

At the vice-presidential debate this fall, someone should ask Sen. Edwards to demonstrate this technique by channeling the words of an unborn baby about to undergo a partial-birth abortion.

if i was married to elizabeth edwards, i'd have my eyes closed and be doing some 'channeling' of my own :)

[soozla]

REALLY, HOW TRUE!!!!............no comparision!!!!...but it should amount to humorous TV, nevertheless!

Here's a little Edwards/Cheney Haiku:

John speaks well. Nice hair.
His smile will light up the room.
Light lunch for Cheney.
