I promise, nothing else politically related for a long, long time. But I have a question regarding something from last night's VP debate (and no, I didn't watch it, I'm going from the news reports this morning).
Last night Cheney made the remark to Edwards that this was the first time they'd actually met, which was in part due to Edwards deplorable attendance record in Congress (and dang it, why isn't there anything easy to find on the Senate website that *gives* information like attendance?).
Of course the Democratic party was quick to point out post-debate that Cheney did in fact meet Edwards a couple of times (that there are pictures of). Hey, anyone in Washington? I find it hard to believe they *haven't* met at some point.
Here's the part that has me confused. How does visual proof that they have met counteract attendance records? I honestly thought upon hearing that Edwards didn't respond to that statement that Edwards *knew* that bringing up his attendance was something to be avoided.
Hey, Edwards is a smart man. The problem is getting him to show up and do the work.
