Mrs. Edwards Doesn’t Know Her Horses…

Uhm, Mrs. Edwards? Seabiscuit’s owner, Mr. Charles Howard, might have started as a bicycle repairman when he first came to San Francisco, but he quickly saw opportunity and began repairing autos. In fact, he opened the first Buick dealership on the W….

I wasn;t aware that you were allowed to declare yourself to be the underdog. I thought that was supposed to be done by newspapers and other sources of media. Isn’t doing it yourslef the same pathetic thing as going around, making up your own tough sounding nick-name and asking people to call you by it?

Then, to describe himself as Seabisquit, and that it was owned by a poor guy and such coming from Mr. Richie Rich and Mrs. Too-Good-To-Live-Next-To-Working-Class…well that is just a bit much.

These guys just have no shame at all, do they?

And Hill-Dawg continues to prove that she is this year’s Howard Dean. All that is left is the PUBLIC maniacal yell.

Edwards is very talented. Few of us can claim to spoken with dead children and have a jury buy into that sham.

media doesn’t seem to much care what short cuts libs take- I guess Hillary could pull same magic as she did with commodities futures. Helps to have someone give you the winning trades and let another sucker take the losses in that zero-sum game.
Shorting is great. Hedge funds can screw the little guys’ investment in small, struggling companies with ease. SEC has all sorts of rules they won’t enforce such as naked shorting.
And of course we must protect the poor banks and lenders from potential losses at all costs.

So there’s absolutely no chance that we can have an actual statesman/ adult ever run for POTUS again? These people are sickening.

#26 Realitycheck-
Funny, Silkpony does have some lon chaney attributes and the Werewolve of London song is apropos. Need a good song for sHrillary, Huckleberry and the Paulwad, etc.
sKerry made a good Lurch. I guess Hill is Bride of Frankenstein or maybe Countess Dracula who needs a stake driven through her hard heart figuratively.

The movie was excellent, one part of it though the narration stated that the seabiscuit was quite lazy and liked to lay under an oak tree all day. Race day was a different story. Edwards is in a sense the same, he looks into a mirror all day combing his balding head just to make a good appearance on race day.

Mr. Edwards reminds me of “Mr. Ed” except that Mr. Ed actually was kind of a nice horse!
Mr. Edwards proclaims himself a kid who rose up from dirt poor poverty to make it in America. He says he is devoted to the poor and downtrodden. Yet nobody in the MSM bothers to ask Mr. Edwards how his populist rhetoric squares with his recent work for The Fortress Group, which is a hedge fund. Mr. Edwards was paid close to $500,000 for something like six months of part-time “work”. What did he actually do for the money? He has no background in trading stocks or bonds or currency. He has no background in valuing companies and deciding whether to buy them. Apparently he was paid for either access, in case he won, or was paid so that Fortress Group could look good while it was foreclosing on poor folks in New Orleans after Katrina. Hedge funds make tons of money by short selling. Does Mr. Edwards think short selling helps the small shareholders of a company? His phoniness is amazing.

Change, according to Silky, really means Your Pocket change.

He is absolutely despised in NC.

He will not make president, I assure you. The south will see to that.

Most locals know him for what he really is ..fake and rich.

In helping to clear up the debate whether Seabiscuit was a horse or a dog with really long legs and a deformed head, I offer the following.

I have some video clips on my site where the theme is calm music underscoring action scenes. Remember the soft Enya tunes in the first ‘Lord of the Rings’ during the chase scenes and fight scenes? In this clip of a horse race, where normally Hollywood would be throwing some loud, exciting music track at us, instead we have some soft humming and an acoustic guitar.

This doesn’t necessarily prove he wasn’t a dog (for that, we’d probably need DNA samples), but at least now we have a visual to work with.

He keeps calling for “change” and people cheer. His idea of change is, “I’m going to take away your liberty and rights, and let me and the dems run your lives. Womb to tomb coverage. We’ll throw away that useless parchment, the Constitution, and we’ll decide what is good and not good, for you. Workers unite.” Stalin would smile and I would respect Edwards for being the rare honest politician.
