I believe Cheney was taken out of context. He had premised his comment by referring to activities in the Senate, inferring that Edwards was rarely ever present. Hence the comment that Cheney was in fact the presiding officer and he never met Edwards. Cheney could have cleared it up but he didn't. Regardless, the point was that Edwards rarely showed up for work. Which is something the liberal media does not wish to talk about.

Imho, Cheney did a great job!
