    Edwards

    Edwards served as Obonzo's! little attack dog faithfully.

    It's fitting that the lunatic left's icons are a guy selfish enough to run for Pres. while he's cheating on his cancer stricken wife and an egomanic full of hot air that never accomplished anything except getting himself bigger homes and corner offices on the backs of Illinois' poorest.

    And you have the nerve to call others stupid!
