From gop.com's "research" on Senator Edwards...
It is funny how the website doesn't mention that President Bush failed the test miserably that was presented to him. So basically, President Bush deserved a free pass on the test and the test was unfair (as Senator Edwards said in the line of questioning), but Senator Edwards should have subjected himself to the test. I just love the humor in that. I think this shows how much the GOP has overreached and distorted in their attempt to attack the Kerry/Edwards ticket. Just my opinion.

They were Chechnya, Taiwan, Pakistan, India. Do you think that was a fair set of questions to put to a guy running for president?” SEN. EDWARDS: “No.” MATTHEWS: “Do you think it would be a fair question to put to you right now?” EDWARDS: “No. Absolutely not.” MATTHEWS: “So you don’t want to go that route? That was the option you have. I have the answers here, if you wanted to try, but since you don’t want to try, we’ll move on. If you -- Are you sure? You don’t want to answer these questions? I know you know at least one of them. You know who’s head of...” EDWARDS: “Let’s don’t go there.” (MSNBC’s “Hardball,” 10/13/03)
