Cheney Plugs FactCheck

Cheney got our domain name wrong—calling us “FactCheck.com”—and wrongly implied that we had rebutted allegations Edwards was making about what Cheney had done as chief executive officer of Halliburton.

In fact, we did post an article pointing out that Cheney hasn’t profited personally while in office from Halliburton’s Iraq contracts, as falsely implied by a Kerry TV ad. But Edwards was talking about Cheney’s responsibility for earlier Halliburton troubles. And in fact, Edwards was mostly right.

Cheney’s “First Time”

Cheney claimed Edwards has such a poor attendance record in the Senate that he was just meeting Edwards for the first time during the debate, even though Cheney visits the Senate every Tuesday. But the Kerry-Edwards campaign quickly documented at least two instances in which Cheney had met Edwards previously. Edwards escorted Elizabeth Dole when she was sworn in as North Carolina’s other senator on January 8, 2003, according to Gannet News Service. Cheney administered the oath.

Cheney also was present with Edwards at a National Prayer Breakfast on Feb. 1, 2001, when a transcript shows Cheney acknowledged Edwards among those at the gathering:

Cheney: (Feb. 1, 2001): Thank you. Thank you very much. Congressman Watts, Senator Edwards, friends from across America and distinguished visitors to our country from all over the world, Lynne and I are honored to be with you all this morning.

I found it funny that not only did he mess up the address to be factcheck.ocom which points to a huge anti-bush site.. but the fact that he sited factcheck.org (he meant) which corrects so many of the bullcrap fallicies that the bush-cheney campaign put forth.  Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s awesome that the site got some promotion because I love it.. but he seemed to have shot himself in the foot in more ways than one.  Not only by messing up the address but also exposing voters to a site that reveals the truth of his own lies.
