Don't Forget Poland meeting John Edwards

Dick Cheney October 5, 2004:

Now, in my capacity as vice president, I am the president of Senate, the presiding officer. I‘m up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they‘re in session.

The first time I ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight.

Except, of course this was a gratuitous LIE!

From Kos:

Addressing the National Prayer Breakast, Cheney said: "Thank you. Thank you very much. Congressman Watts, Senator Edwards, friends from across America and distinguished visitors to our country from all over the world, Lynne and I honored to be with you all this morning." [FDCH Political Transcripts, Cheney Remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, 2/1/01]

Here's the picture, you know it's real, Edwards is happy, Dick is Grumpy, Lynne is scopin' out the ladies...


Plus there is this, also from Kos:

Senator Edwards Escorted Elizabeth Dole When She Was Sworn In As North Carolina's Other Senator. Elizabeth Dole was sworn in as North Carolina's other senator on January 8, 2003. Gannet News Service wrote: "As per Senate tradition, Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., escorted her."

Dole Took The Senate Oath Administered By Vice President Dick Cheney. According to Gannet News Service: "[Dole] raised her right hand and took the oath administered by Vice President Dick Cheney, the Senate president." [Gannet News Service, 1/8/03]

This guy is P-a-t-h-o-l-o-g-i-c-a-l.

There was absolutely no need for this completely unnecessary whopper, yet Cheney stuck it in there, he just needed to.

And, of course, there were many more lies, the claim to have never claimed to have tied 9/11 and Iraq together the most flagrant, but this idiocy was up there.

UPDATE:

Li'l Russ just stated that Cheney also met Edwards on Meet the Press as well. He then added it will be added to the paperback edition of "Big Russ & Me" (ok, last part not true).
