   Truly a politician that gives politicians a bad name.

   Ah, but look closely at what he actually said…

   “Every dime of the money they gave to me has gone to charity,”

   The money HarperCollins paid to Edwards’s daughter and Jonathan Prince wasn’t every given to Silky Pony, thus his statement remains true…

   Technically.

   He’s a trial lawyer, folks. What did you expect. Make money off the weak, downtrodden. Build them up so that you can tear them down. Money, money, money. And they claim Republicans are the money whores.

   An open letter to redistributionist celebrities, politicians and lefties:

   If you want *me* to give more money to charities/programs, please do the following before I consider your pandering to be sincere:

   1) Sell your houses and mansions. Move into a 3-bedroom, one bath house or apartment.

   2) Give away your income until you live off $50,000 a year - maximum.

   3) Drive a mid-priced car, no more than $25,000.

   4) Shop for clothing and pay no more than $50 for jeans, $40 for shirts, and $30 for shoes.

   If I saw even an iota of these people practicing what they preach, I’d perhaps take them seriously. But while they flit around in private jets, wear Gucci, and live in mansions with bathrooms bigger than my whole apartment it’s hard for me to swallow the line that I need to give more of my income because I’m being greedy if I want to keep a roof over my head, food in my mouth, and clothes on my back.

    His play one words reminds me of CAIR and it is sickening. All of the dems and apologists do this ‘word game’.

    Can all of the libs ad-lib as needed with impunity? Seemingly so.
    Our new party, the Ad-Libs.

    using his words…
    Edwards is a Bleeding Sore.

    I’d just call him “Slick Willy” without the Slick.

    Maybe Silky’s adopting the Ray Nagin style of campaigning: regardless of the level of humilation, at least it keeps “the brand” out there in the public eye.

    LOL. Reminds me of the Mary McCarthy quote about Lillian Hellman:

    Every word she writes is a lie, including and and the.

    Murdoch’s HarperCollins paid portions of a $300,000 expense budget for the book to Edwards’s daughter

    She needs to get her hair done once in awhile too - and really, how far can a portion of $300,000 go these days?

    Or, perhaps Charity is a transexual exotic dancer…

    This guy is like Bill Clinton minus the intern problem. He is so brazen and effortless about it, I would admire it if I was not so disgusted.

    He truly does remind me of Jim Carrey in “Liar Liar.”

    As bad as Edwards is though, many of his supporters are worse.
