What a dumb comment - does that very instance captured in the picture represent everything that happened before or after? The correct criticism should be that the event was a minor social event (Prayer Breakfast) and does nothing to take away from the VP's criticism of Edwards never bothering to show up to do his job. Breakfast is NOT a job!.....4MORE-YEARS
"What a dumb comment.....The correct criticism should be" ?
Aren't you full of yourself .
Your "correct criticism" seems to be a really "dumb" way to give the opposition the ammunition of being able to say, "Aha! Cheney lied. He did meet Edwards! And now he even admits it!!"
Unless a "minor social event" is a small dinner party at someone's house where everybody is immediately introduced to everybody else, there may be 30 strangers mingling around in a room for one hour and, at the end of the event, 15 of them may have never "met" each other.
The individuals in the room who never "meet" each other are the individuals who spend the entire hour with their backs turned towards each other and never once make eye contact.
The photo in question has Cheney with his eyes closed in prayer and with his back turned towards Edwards.
Does that constitute "meeting" Edwards?
No.
If Edwards had showed up in the same room with Cheney more than twice in 3 1/2 years, would Edwards have increased his chances of actually "meeting" Cheney?
Yes.
