How about remembering things he didn’t do? Like spending Christmas in Cambodia?
Better to forget meeting an forgetable pretty boy than to have fantasies based on a movie seared (seared!) into ones brain.

Just saying you don’t want to be promoting that your candidate talks about things he doesnt’ remember.

That’s NOT A MEETING. How many times over the past three years did Edwards engage Cheney over legislation? Isn’t that important? I’m guessing the answer is zero.

Cheney should have worded his statement more clearly. He should have said “This guy has never so much as discussed a single piece of legislation with me on the Senate floor in the past three and a half years.” Nobody debates that. No, I could claim I bushed past La Shawn once in a hallway four years ago. She’d have to take my word for it. We’ve never MET.

Like I said on the other post, and mentioned by Stephen on this, Cheney threw ambigious stuff out there just begging to be fact-checked which will only lead Kerwards into a deeper quagmire. Fact is Cheney knows his facts, and Edwards just knows talking points and it showed — a couple of times Edwards looked like a fish knocked out of the water with his mouth pumping away.

Please sign on as an advisor for the Kerry campaign. They need your political acumen and sound judgment. They should really push that brainstorm about Cheney being senile.

I listened to the debate, rather than watching it.
That way I wasn’t influenced by body language or “Fluffy’s” hair.

I think the Liberal moderator sucked.

I say the next debate, in all fairness, should be moderated by Ann Coulter.
I know she’d ask tough questions of both Bush and Skerry.

just sayin’….

Cheney is old, senile and doesn’t remember things, or makes statements which haven’t been fact checked? Sorry, but the spinmeisters will have a field day.

Nice…I like it!

Maybe Cheney should emphasize the point: “Allow me to offer a sincere apology. It does appear that Senator Edwards and I have met before, perhaps on multiple occasions. I simply had no memory of him. He never made an impression. From now on, I will try to remember him.”

People in the MSM are chalking it up as an error on Cheney’s part, a lie or cheap shot. However, I don’t think so.

It was a “no lose” situation for Cheney. I think it was more calculated than it appears on the surface.

The Bush/Cheney camp know that every word will be scrutinized and factcheck will be involved. If Cheney makes the comment and no one follows up on it, the blow has been delivered to Edwards. If the media does pick up on it, and try to make it an issue, the perception is that even when Edwards IS there, he’s not remarkable. When he is there, Cheney doesn’t even remember. Just a thought.

Polls repeatedly show that Halliburton does not exist as an issue except among Michael Moore neo-Marxists. Cheney can’t convince them. Basically, he shrugged it off, to Edwards’ evident frustration.

If you keep having trouble, please send me an example of the trackback URL you’re using so I can check it.

Anyway, check out the trackback post above, complete with links to a google search on senate.gov of Kerry and Edward no-shows. Based on their voting records, I think they should be disqualified from the race. It’s disgusting.
