Nasty, Brutish and Too Long
Early on, Vice-president Dick Cheney started making nasty and misleading claims about John Kerry and John Edwards. Indeed, Mr. Edwards seemed rocked back by the impossibility of rebutting the sheer quantity of dishonest talking points Cheney dished out in rapid-fire fashion.
Later, John Edwards seemed to hit his stride, and came back more effectively on domestic issues.
As in the campaign, we saw very little from Mr. Cheney in the way of defending Mr. Bush and his policies. There were a few, well-rehearsed talking points about how well things are going in Iraq, but the vast majority of his statements were simply false attacks on John Kerry and John Edwards' record.
It almost makes you wonder whose idea it's been to produce all the lies the Bush/Cheney campaign has been foisting on the public over the last nine months. Are we sure it was Rove?
