ouch

The Vice-Presidential debate just got over and it hurts. Dick Cheney was perfect. Perfect. It must have been part of his deal with the devil that turned his heart black as it is. Anyway...

I was so expecting Edwards to own Cheney and even though he didn't really screw up, it wasn't even close. Cheney's evil genius took control and never let go. No matter what was thrown at him, he was calm and collect, sort of absorbed the criticism and then spat it back. Every answer he gave has succinct and to the point, and sounded good...like the truth even, even when it wasn't. Wow.

As much as I hate the guy, I can't help but respect him for his performance. That sort of control and ability just goes to show how comfortable he is with himself and what he believes.

One thing that I find interesting, however, is that at one point in the debate, Cheney told the audience to check on something Halliburton-related at Fact Check. Well, I just went to check the site and am finding that 4 of the 6 links on the front page show how the Bush/Cheney campaign has gotten the facts wrong this campaign (one of the others is the Kerry-Halliburton thing Cheney was talking about and the other is a fact-check of both candidates during the first presidential debate). Maybe we'll see some Bush-Cheney folk visiting and finding out that their saviors are full of it. We can only hope.
