Petty deception
To the editor:
There were several untruths in the vice-presidential “debate” last week. One stands out as so petty that it is incredible! Cheney said that he had never met Edwards. The truth is that Cheney and Edwards have met in public at least twice. They met when Edwards escorted Elizabeth Dole to be sworn in by Cheney as senator and at the National Prayer Breakfast.
If Cheney is willing to lie about whether or not he’s met John Edwards (a rather objective question) it’s clear he won’t be straight with the American people on more important issues.
