News: Cheney Oops!


From the I'm-the-last-to-know department, I just found out about this blunder from the Tuesday night VP Debate...

Cheney: Well, the reason they keep mentioning Halliburton is because they're trying to throw up a smokescreen. They know the charges are false.They know that if you go, for example, to FactCheck.com... you can get the specific details with respect to Halliburton.


Hundreds of thousands of viewers immediately did as they were told and hit the web to find Factcheck.com. They were welcomed to George Soros' homepage with the headline that reads: "Why We Must Not Re-Elect President Bush!"

Cheney meant to direct everyone to Factcheck.org, the independent website. Ironically, those that did find the proper site were greeted with headline stating "Bush Mischaracterizes Kerry's Health Plan."

Factcheck.org claims that John Edwards' statement about Halliburton was actually "mostly right."
