ABC gum, already been chewed


Multi-millionaire trial lawyer John Edwards is back in Iowa and in his best defense for his candidacy said...

"We need a president of the United States who can walk and chew chewing gum at the same time."

Chew chewing gum?

Who says that?

Its... WALK AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

I Googled the phrase " walk and chew chewing gum" and it came back with 41 hits.

John Edwards is the one who uses that phrase and that gum was already chewed by him in 2004.

Edwards used it in a Dummycrat debate January 2004 in South Carolina.

Has he plagiarized Lonnie Donegan of "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor (on the bedpost overnight)" fame?

Here's a chorus from the song...
Now the nation rise as one
To send their wanted son
Up to the White House, yes, the nation's only White House
To voice their discontent
Unto the Pres-I-dent
The bonny burning question, What has swept this continent?

After Edwards repeated the phrase in Iowa a reporter held up some gum, not Juicy Fruit, and asked...

"Do you want to walk and chew gum?"

Edwards reply...

"I'm not sure I can."

He can, however, chew his own cud.
