Wow. We tried to cut the guy a break.....still can't believe that the Walmart press release was done by the people normally responsible for press releases.

So it turned out to be true, eh? I agree w/ you about the 'people normally responsible for press releases'. Doesn't read like it came out of the PR Dept.

And so, the story gets better:

My wife, Elizabeth, wanted to get a Playstation3 for my young children. She mentioned it in front of one of my staff people," Edwards said. "That staff person mentioned it in front of a volunteer who said he would make an effort to get one.

While Edwards is out complaining about low wage Wal-mart, one of his NO-wage staffers is slogging it out as the Edwards' personal shopper.

And little Jack Edwards is acting like a typical rich kid bully:

In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart.

The Edwards' need to put the kid in one of those snobbish private schools so the poor little thing can avoid coming into contact w/ Wal-Mart shopping riff-raff.

"If a 6-year-old can figure it out, America can definitely figure this out," Edwards said.

(But apparently not the NO-Wage Edwards' 'volunteers'.)
