In perhaps the most awkward blooper of the evening, Cheney told Edwards to his face that they had never met before the debate, despite evidence they had.

Edwards' campaign later provided a transcript of a February 2001 prayer breakfast at which Cheney began his remarks by acknowledging the North Carolina senator. The campaign also said Cheney, in his capacity as Senate president, had sworn in Edwards.

Okay, class, what's wrong with that statement?????

Cheney wasn't VP when Edwards was elected and Edward only ran for office ONCE

Besides the fact that the last time I checked, US senators serve six year terms, and since Edwards would be up for re-election this year if he were running, he would have had to be sworn in in 1998, whie Algore was Senate president, nothing at all.

I just got back from the after-party with the vicepresident. It was nice to get a handshake and tell him that he kicked a litte a$$

"It depends on what the meaning of 'met' is."

'Met' vs. 'met', 'Is' vs. 'is'. Same old same old.

ALSO .. the new incoming Senators (which Edwards was not one of them) Were sworn in .. in the beginning of Jan of 2001

I remember it was Al Gore that sworn Hellary into office

I'd like to see Edwards campaign tomorrow on the "I did TOO meet Dick Cheney before last night" platform. Oh really? Then why didn't you bring it up AT THE DEBATE??? Maybe you should have channeled a dead baby or something.

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