Vice-President Cheney Unintentionally Supports Anti-Bush Website
Last night during the Vice-Presidential Debate, the Vice-President responded to accusations about his former company Halliburton stating that the website factcheck.com, an independent website sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, provides specific details refuting those claims. What I don't think he realized at the time is that the website he mentioned is actually automatically redirects you to the anti bush website www.georgesoros.com.
Below you'll find an exact transcript of Cheney's statement.
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 (sic), an independent Web site sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, you can get the specific details with respect to Halliburton.
It's an effort that they've made repeatedly to try to confuse the voters and to raise questions, but there's no substance to the charges.

In case you are wondering. I believe the site he intended to mention was in fact www.factcheck.org. However, this site appears to be overloaded with traffic and as such is inaccessible. Perhaps Cheney should get his website's straight before throwing his support behind them.
*Update* FactCheck.org appears to be running again and has posted their own article stating Cheney's Blunder. It also clarifies a lot of the messed up facts that both Edwards and Cheney used. I suggest reading it.
