October 6, 2004Dot OopsIn the grand tradition of youforgotpoland.com, a website has sprung up in the aftermath of the Vice Presidential debate. According to Slate... In response to a series of attacks from John Edwards on Cheney's tenure as CEO of Halliburton, the vice president said that Kerry and Edwards "know the charges are false. They know that if you go, for example, to factcheck.com, an independent Web site sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania, you can get the specific details with respect to Halliburton." One problem with Cheney's rebuttal: He misspoke. He meant to say "factcheck.org.," rather than ".com." George Soros capitalized on Cheney's error, snatched up the URL, and now if you type "factcheck.com" into your browser, you get redirected to a page titled, "Why we must not re-elect President Bush: a personal message from George Soros."Andrew - 11:00 AM Comments
UPDATE: Evidently Soros himself had nothing to do with it. Whoever owned the URL put up a redirect to Soros's site. (Probably.)
