Factcheck.org posts disclaimer for Cheney goof in debate story!
"FactCheck.com Correction
We do not own the FactCheck.com domain name and are not responsible for it redirecting to GeorgeSoros.com. We are as surprised as anyone by this turn of events. We believe that Vice President Cheney intended to direct viewers to FactCheck.org."


I can't even get the page to come up anymore...must be busy-busy!

2. Site still swamped
It certainly hits Cheney more than Edwards. Maybe Edward should do a mea culpa regarding the troop "pay cut" issue to show that real adults can admit misstatements.

From url once it loaded:

Summary

Cheney wrongly implied that FactCheck had defended his tenure as CEO of Halliburton Co., and the vice president even got our name wrong. He overstated matters when he said Edwards voted "for the war" and "to commit the troops, to send them to war." He exaggerated the number of times Kerry has voted to raise taxes, and puffed up the number of small business owners who would see a tax increase under Kerry's proposals.

Edwards falsely claimed the administration "lobbied the Congress" to cut the combat pay of troops in Iraq, something the White House never supported, and he used misleading numbers about jobs.
