7. I think he's joking... It would be an O'Reilly-like compounding of lies on
top of other lies.

8. Never met any Edwards related program activities
That's what he meant. It's plain to all to see.

11. It was a joke. Cheney is allowed to say he didn't say stuff he said and
they have him on tape and in print actually saying all the time. Chris Matthews and the like will still say well that's up in the air because Cheney denies being in the photo of himself.

5. Yeah, he never did say that...
He just never met any Edwards related program activities. That's what he really meant. Don't you understand?

10. You Are Right, Sergeant!
And he will say it with such a bland face and blank affect that the only conclusion that can be drawn by a reasonable onlooker is that the fellow is a serious sociopath....

26. They SAT NEXT TO EACH OTHER at the breakfast
If Cheney didn't introduce himself to the Senator sitting next to him at breakfast, he's a bigger DICK than we all thought.

And Cheney WOULD meet with Edwards if Cheney met with ANY democrats when he comes to the Senate. As Leahy pointed out, Cheney only meets with REPUBLICANS.

I WISH John Edwards had pointed that out to 40 million people at the debate instead of Leahy telling 1 or 2 million on MSNBC.

13. Apparently it was cheney's choice
to only mingle with the repuke Senators on Tuesdays. Remember, uniter, not divider.

21. There's another thread
with an article about it and the date was in February (I believe) in 2001. I know it's at least in 2001.

16. Senator Leahy when interviewed by Tweety said
that Cheney would come to Tuesday sessions of the Senate with an entourage of about 50 cars and tons of people. Cheney would only meet with the Republican Senators in their chambers and was the first VP in a long time who wouldn't meet with the Democrats. He said that's why he never met Edwards in the Senate itself.

17. Excellent!
This one is really sticking -- what the hell was Cheney thinking when he said such a stupid thing? Is he just so used to getting away with lies that he didn't think anyone would call him on it?

Here's Our Chance DU'ers...Keith Olberman Is Asking For A Photo

Edited on Tue Oct-05-04 11:43 PM by IMRadioactive
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5445086 /


Conclusion (Keith Olbermann)

Intangibles: Cheney scored “photograph shots” with repeated reference to Edwards’ absences for key Senate votes, and the “money shot” by noting that as President of the Senate he had never previously met Senator John Edwards. But that fact is eminently spinnable, and if Democrats can prove they did meet, or that Edwards was physically in the Senate the last four years as often as Cheney, prime memory of the bout could be turned into Republican disaster. Major feel-good moment for Cheney in Round Thirteen when he pleasantly responded to Edwards’ comments about Cheney’s daughters and yielded rest of his response time to the moderator



OK kids...whose first???

E-mail Keith at KOlbermann@MSNBC.com

Let's make the lies the story of this debate and all of them.

28. Kerry drew that photo last Thursday on his cheat-sheet.
You know, the one he pulled from his pocket. And Clinton's penis is the one out posting it everywhere!!! Why are the voices getting so loud?

:P
