During last night's vice presidential debate, Dick Cheney advised viewers interested in his version of the facts about Halliburton to visit factcheck.com. Evidently, he meant to direct them to factcheck dot ORG, a site run by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, but mis-spoke. Factcheck dot COM redirects you to GeorgeSoros.com which contains arguments on "why we must not re-elect President George Bush."
That'll teach one to be careful about domain names!
I watched about the last 20 minutes of the debate. Seemed like a draw to me. I wished Edwards had let more of that Southern populist thing out to serve as a counterpoint to Cheney's "father knows best" attitude. Both of them played fast and loose with facts and numbers. I found the closing statements most interesting, from a purely observational standpoint. Edwards did at that point get all folksy, we-know-how-you've-suffered-and-we-care, in good Clarence Darrow form. Cheney was more withdrawn and kept wringing his hands throughout his closing statement. It was distracting and it made me wonder what exactly was making him so tense--he seemed cool as a cucumber earlier.
Well, I'll be looking forward to Jon Stewart's comments tonight.
