Now, this was the moment when Edwards turned to Cheney and said that as a congressman, Cheney had voted against Head Start, against banning plastic toy pistols, against Meals on Wheels, against a resolution calling for Nelson Mandela to be freed, and against the establishment of a holiday for Martin Luther King.

Edwards said this with a sudden vibrancy and a controlled resentment and the rest of the night was his.

I don't know which of those is the funnier. I guess my favorite was his damning of Vice-President Cheney for voting against banning toy pistols. Although the other four were hilarious as well.

Just because you don't like Breslin or what he writes, it doesn't mean he is drunk. In any case, he probably writes better drunk than you do sober.

Edwards pounced. The pigeon pounced on the cat and the result was obvious.

All Edwards did by making that comment was engratiate himself to the black voters, who will vote overwhelmingly for him anyway.

Breslin is still spewing his odious bile?

I thought he went horizontal years ago.

What a vile, repulsive little man.

Edward's is a slimey lawyer who will lie, cheat, and steal to win whatever it is he wants. He is one of those things I avoid stepping in when walking through the cow pasture.

What surprised me the most was Pretty Boy's lack of control over his rapid blinking when confronted with the truth. After all that time being a scumbag attorney, you'd think he'd have that one down, at least.

If it was true that Vice President Cheney did indeed meet Edwards before the debate, Edwards had an opportunity for rebuttal. Instead he used his time to regurgitate old votes about meals on wheels, etc. It doesn't matter how it's spun today - Edwards was NOT in control at that point... he was laying on the mat.

Edwards was gutshot by then and trying desperately to plug the holes. Breslin is a hack writer pouring the kool-aid for the sheep. If you have read any of his other "stuff", you would see that he even failed Creative Writing 101. Clear vision and talent do not appear in his resume.

Well this may be a little subtle but, I thought it telling when Senator Gone was required NOT to say kerry's name, that he said it twice, proving to me that he was using sound bytes he had memorized.
It shows he has a problem thinking on his feet.

"..against banning plastic toy pistols.."

You can't run on alcohol and bile and keep your concentration.

Edwards quote from the Debate:

"..EDWARDS: That was a complete distortion of my record. I know that won't come as a shock.

The vice president, I'm surprised to hear him talk about records. When he was one of 435 members of the United States House, he was one of 10 to vote against Head Start, one of four to vote against banning plastic weapons that can pass through metal detectors...."

What Edward's was speaking of was the attempt to ban Glock type pistols with their Polymer Receivers, in the climate of anti-gun hysteria ginned up by the usual suspects in slavering anticipation of another angle to grab guns.

"Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988 - Public Law 100-649; 18 U.S.C. 922

"This 1988 legislation banned the production and sale of any guns that are undetectable by metal detectors and X-ray machines (ie: the mythical all plastic gun). The NRA helped to rewrite this law so as to narrow its scope, and exclude detectable polymer framed handguns like the Glock 17, the Taurus Millennium, and the Springfield XD. These pistols are now in common use throughout America by police departments, and civilians for concealed carry. So, even if there were an ‘all plastic’ gun somewhere out there, it would be totally ILLEGAL to Own!"

The law that was passed was an answer in search of a question.

---Cheney had voted against Head Start, against banning plastic toy pistols...---

I think the plastic toy guns reffered to were Glocks. The anti-gun people started circulating the rumor that they would pass undetected through through metal detectors and tried to have them banned. Breslin is either trying to pull a fraud on us or he's stupid or he think's we're stupid, probably all three.

---Edwards said this with a sudden vibrancy and a controlled resentment and the rest of the night was his.---

He must have gotten on a real buzz about this time or just plain passed out and made up the rest.

At Right Moment, Edwards Pounced...

...and the fat cat with the glasses smiled, licked his whiskers, belched happily and coughed up a small light-brown furball.
