3. I posted that URL at my website! Way too funny.

Isn't that a riot? I wonder when Soros set that up?

I know, many people confuse .com and .org, but this was just great. The VP tells people to go find out why Bushco should not be re-elected!

7. The most entertaining part of it is ...

When Cheney said it, Mr. Nownow pulled it up because he knew the Annenberg site was a 'dot org' site, and he figured Cheney was misdirecting people to another site on purpose, he figured it probably was a GOP site. It brought up a redirect/domain parking page. Somebody flipped it to Soros in the five or ten minutes after Cheney giving out the wrong URL for the Annenberg site -- someone posted it here about 10:45, that it redirected to Soros. Somebody really did us a big favor last night, don't know if it was Soros or someone else. Regardless, yes -- a coup!

10. Millbank has a piece on this today:

<snip>

Evidently, Cheney meant to say FactCheck.org a site run by the Annenberg Public Policy Center. Instead, he directed the nation's attention to a Web site that refers people to sellers of dictionaries and encyclopedias -- at least at first. The company behind the site, Cayman Islands-based Name Administration Inc., which also owns sites such as Lipbalm.com and Antarctica.com, was quickly overwhelmed.

"Suddenly they had 48,000 hits in an hour, then 100 hits a second," said John Berryhill, a lawyer for the company. "They had a technical problem on their hands."

To avoid crashing, and to exact revenge on Cheney for causing it such grief, Name Administration decided to forward traffic to GeorgeSoros.com -- a site that could handle the traffic, was not soliciting funds and clearly wasn't tied to Bush. "And you got to admit it was kind of cute," Berryhill said.

Soros's Web site issued a statement saying it had nothing to do with the redirection of traffic. "We are as surprised as anyone," said Michael Vachon, Soros's chief of staff.
