John you ignorant slut


For John Edwards it was "Two Americas" in 2004.

This time around its "One America"...

Because he's foreclosed on the other!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

Last week I highlighted the two John Edwards.

Rich Lowry touches on it too...

In the case of John Edwards, however, hypocrisy is simply a way of life.

The infamous $400 haircut - actually, some of his hairstyling sessions ran as much as $1,200 all told - wasn't a freak embarrassment for a candidate so self-righteously devoted to the poor. It was part of a pattern so pervasive that it has become the defining aspect of Edwards' candidacy.

When he lambasted hedge funds for incorporating offshore to avoid or delay paying U.S. taxes, what could be more natural than that he made nearly $500,000 for part-time work at the Fortress Investment Group, with hedge funds incorporated in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes?

When he hit other candidates for taking donations from Rupert Murdoch's media holdings, wasn't it inevitable that it would turn out he had taken $800,000 from Murdoch's HarperCollins for a coffee-table book?

Or when he attacked subprime lenders for foreclosing on victims of Hurricane Katrina, he would have $16 million - half of his net worth - invested in Fortress while it was foreclosing on a couple dozen homes in New Orleans?

Edwards is pictured pulling one thumb out of his ass and inserting the other.
