Unfortunately for the Cheney, he made a perfectly understandable slip of the tongue and instead gave out the address www.factcheck.com—which, at the time of the debate, pointed to a humdrum ad-bloated education site. Even more unfortunately for the vice president, whoever controls the web server with the .com address is apparently both quick-thinking and discontent with the current administration—factcheck.com almost immediately became a redirect to www.georgesoros.com, site (unsurprisingly) of wealthy liberal financier George Soros.
