This is satire, right?
Just more sloppy liberal hyprocrisy.
But why would he do this? He could buy it anywhere.
wasn't Hillary on the BOD, too?
Hmm. I wonder how he managed to get it before anyone else. It's not supposed to go on sale until tomorrow (Friday). I asked one of the workers in the video department at our local Walmart and he said they were only getting 10 of the Playstation 3 consoles and they would be going on sale at midnight tonight.
Well, now we know what Kerry's getting for Christmas.
People have been waiting in the lobby at our local Wal-Mart, camped out like refugees, on line to buy this blasted thing. Since Tuesday afternoon.
Wasn't he FNC's guest of the day yesterday?
ping!
another chapter in case Peter Schweizer puts out an expanded version of
"Do As I Say (Not As I DO); Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy".
That sounds about right. He's an ambulance chaser who ran as a V.P. candidate on reducing health care costs. So he at least sticks to his principles of hypocrisy.
My son informed us that Playstation was going to go on sale and the people had been camped out for days waiting for a shot at buying one - Tom
I wonder if Edwards really goes to stores to buy things like that. He has mega bucks and is really well known. Guys like that usually get assistants to pick things up or get their orders delivered.
I seriously doubt WalMart issued the below press release which is the source on the blogs for this story......
Even Presidential Candidates Agree: Wal-Mart is the Best Place to Shop for Hot Electronics Items this Christmas Season BENTONVILLE, Ark., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Just like the millions of Americans who turn to their neighborhood Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) for their holiday shopping needs, Wal-Mart announced today that former Sen. John Edwards is seeking to be one of the first to get a Sony PlayStation3, one of the most coveted holiday gift items this Christmas season. Yesterday, a staff person for former Sen. Edwards contacted a Wal-Mart electronics manager in Raleigh, North Carolina to obtain a Sony PlayStation3 on behalf of the Senator's family. Later that night, Sen. Edwards reportedly re-told a homespun story to participants of a United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union-sponsored call about how his son had chided a fellow student for purchasing shoes at Wal-Mart.
Wal-Mart welcomes Sen. Edwards to visit his local Wal-Mart store and explore the extensive line of home electronics as well as the Metro7 line shoes for men and boys.
The Company noted the PlayStation3 is an extremely popular item this Christmas season, and while the rest of America's working families are waiting patiently in line, Senator Edwards wants to cut to the front. While, we cannot guarantee that Sen. Edwards will be among one of the first to obtain a PlayStation3, we are certain Sen. Edwards will be able to find great gifts for everyone on his Christmas list - many at Wal-Mart's "roll-back prices."

So did he cut in line liker Kerry did at the Reagan funeral or did he camp out all night like others are doing?
Ooooh, based on the headline I thought he bought the Playstation after he bashed IT - the Playstation. I figured he tripped over it in the store or something. :)
