Describe your position as VP without mentioning your running mate... John Kerry and I ... oh sorry I said his name... John Kerry and I ... oh look Dick Cheney got me so rattled that I did it again.. but I can be trusted... My dad a poor... poor mill worker sat in the glow of a TV learning math when I was a kid...

FACT CHECK... Poor, Poor, Mill Worker could never afford a TV in lets say what 1960 or so depending on how little he was when he came down the stairs and saw poor mill worker daddy watching a TV set that would amount to about $2,000 in todays money... Not too poor if you had a TV in the early 60's John and what was he learning Math... What channel PBS? Did they teach math on TV in the 60's maybe it was sesame street who knows.....Kerry Edwards... Short on style and substance... Go get real jobs and pay your taxes. Stop stealing from medicare.

I actually started laughing out loud when he started in on his daddy story. Cheney just sat there with that sideways look, wearing that bemused expression on his face. Edwards has never looked more like a complete idiot in his life than he did at that moment.

I wonder if Edwards "daddy learned math on TV" story was prepared in advance or whether he was winging it last minute. After Cheney talked about his upbringing, Edwards may have decided during the debate he needed to show he had "humble beginnings" too. Seemeed kind of weird to me. Of course when Edwards went off on how afganastan was leading producer of some kind of drug was off the wall too.
