JOHN EDWARDS CAUGHT IN A LIE
This is rich. Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (who? Oh yeah..him,) the former Democratic vice-presidential nominee who ran with The Poodle two years ago, has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Believe it or not, it all revolves around Wal-Mart...and a game console.
You see....Edwards is always bashing Wal-Mart. Not because of their promotion of eminent domain abuse, but because of their policy of promoting low prices and non-union labor. Edwards just isn't going to ever shop there. Or his he? It turns out the answer to that question is...it depends.
Eager to have one of the new Playstation 3 game consoles, Edwards sent one of his underlings to Wal-Mart to get one. Only this time, Wal-Mart caught him. In a publicly released statement, the retailing giant said "While the rest of America's working families are waiting patiently in line, Sen. Edwards wants to cut to the front." Priceless.
Now Edwards is backpedaling as fast as he can...selling the staffer up the river and saying he had nothing to do with the idea of buying it at Wal-Mart...but the damage is done. Once again the hypocrisy of the Left exposes itself: do as I say, not as I do.
I can't believe that THIS isn't the focus of attention. It's so disgusting at so many levels.
Good thing Edwards wasn't the one who said that.
Almost as good as Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, an ardent critic of apartheid who called for boycotting South African goods and companies doing business there, hosting a Speaker's Golf Tournament and giving out caps....made in South Africa.
History marches on. Lather, rinse, and repeat.
