Cheney: "I never met Joe Wilson" in 2003

[leftchick]

omg listening to Byron York on hardball spin that into it was probably technically true! Katrina VH is holding his ass to the fire!

[Debi]

1. Yeah, he never met John Edwards either! n/t

[LSparkle]

3. You beat me to it

It's gotta be the meds -- or early Alzheimer's -- the guy can't remember HALF the people he's met.

[Debi]

13. Or outed! n/t

[babylonsister]

2. Didn't he say the same thing about Edwards? Seems he

too might have a 'selective' memory.

[Debi]

16. The Edwards campaign released this photo right after Cheney's gaff

wonder if there's a Wilson photo around?

[babylonsister]

22. I see you beat me to the punch, Debi! I remember seeing

Cheney saying that and how quickly it was refuted. Must suck to be him and get old and forgetful. :eyes:

[Debi]

24. Or just flat out lie and expect your staff to clean up after you.

[William769]

4. Has he ever met George Bush?

[Debi]

14. No reason to

Uncle Dick runs the show.

[leftchick]

Tweety is being a total dick to Katrina

'If we had the information that intelligence was twisted or coerced we would be reporting it here"!
What an ass!

[LisaM]

5. He says the most outright lies in that calm voice

It's so odd.

[peekaloo]

8. I truly believe the man is insane.

:nuke:

[Disturbed]

11. Has Tweety correct his constant lie about...

Cheney sending Joe Wilson to Niger? It is a fact that Cheney requested that the CIA send someone and they did so. I think they sent Joe Wilson because they knew that he would get the facts since he had connections in Niger. Cheney wasn't expecting the truth, it seems.

[leftchick]

23. I heard at least two people say cheney did not ask for him to go

God, don't these people read?

[LSK]

6. so? how is it relevant?

Cheney asked the CIA to investigate, CIA decided to send Wilson. 2 seperate events.

And I have yet to see Wilson say "Cheney personally sent me".

[Lex]

7. Maybe he never met him.

Do we know he met him?

:shrug:

[Road Scholar]

9. Cheny couldn't wipe Edwards' boots. nt

:hi:

[Lex]

12. You're right.

:hi:

[leftchick]

10. cheney did not answer the question directly

He turned a "Do you know about the Wilson Leak" into I never met Joe Wilson. Typical repuke re-framing of the question.

[Debi]

17. Hey

[Spazito]

20. The key part in what Cheney said was not "I never met him" it was

that he said "I don't know who sent Joe Wilson". That is an outright lie if the NYT times piece is to be believed and it certainly seems to be so.

[spanone]

15. It spun me around and threw me to the ground. What an idiot.

and he did it with a straight face.

[Disturbed]

18. Cheney is skilled.

He is one of the best liars I have ever witnessed. He is gifted, I say.

[marbuc]

26. It's easy to lie if you have no soul.

The man is pure evil.

[leftchick]

21. but with a crooked mouth

from a lying crook...

[tjdee]

19. So fuckin' what? I never met Cheney and I talk about him all the time!

The excuses these people use are so childish--and the "news" media lets them run right with it!

[bluedawg12]

25. Cheney: I never met a Joe Wilson leak I didn't like!

It's not like he doesn't have Joe's dossier and bathroom habits in Scooters hot little hands.
