Why I had to quit the John Edwards campaign

During my brief tenure as blogmaster for a Democratic presidential contender, I experienced the right-wing smear machine firsthand

    too funny!

    John Edwards speaks of the Two Americas and ending poverty in 30 years.

    While living in a multi-million dollar mansion built from money he made by lying to and bamboozling stupid jurors from the "other America" that Edwards only pretends to care about so he can be elected.

    Remember, this is the guy who was the running mate of a guy who became a multi-millionaire by marrying rich widows-- twice!

    And anyone who says he can end poverty in 30 years doesn't understand basic economics or human nature.

    You people are just too funny.

    —laughing hard
