NBC’s Katie Couric on Wednesday morning praised as “quite moving” John Edwards’ South Carolina victory remarks, the umpteenth rendition of his standard stump speech designed to appeal to people’s jealousies as he repeated his usual liberal mantra about “two different Americas” in health care and schools and how “we’re going to build one America that works for everybody.”
Couric soon revealed she was just channeling the views of liberal political operative, and former Clinton enabler, Dee Dee Myers, as she prompted Myers: “You were quite moved by that speech.” And, without naming anyone, Couric insisted Edwards’ diatribe got “positive reviews, even from conservatives.” Myers made clear she was not moved by Edwards’ speaking style or personal life story, but by his liberal politics as she maintained that he best represents how “Democrats like to think of themselves as being about...giving everybody an equal chance and lifting everybody up.”
How inspirational.
During the 8am half hour on the February 4 Today, NBC brought aboard Myers and Newsweek’s Howard Fineman to discuss with Couric the Tuesday primary results. The relevant exchange:
Couric: “He gave quite a moving speech last night. Let’s take a look and then we’ll talk about it.” Edwards, during South Carolina victory speech: “We do still live in two different Americas: Two different health care systems, two different public school systems, two tax systems, two governments, two economies. It doesn’t have to be that way. You and I together, we’re going to build one America that works for everybody. That’s what we’re going to do!” Couric: “Dee Dee, you were quite moved by that speech. And it got, you know, positive reviews, even from conservatives. What was it about that that did sort of move you?” Myers: “I think that John Edwards has been throughout this campaign talking about the people who’ve been affected by the bad economy, talking about the lives of people who are less fortunate, which is what Democrats like to think of themselves as being about is giving everybody an equal chance and lifting everybody up. And I think on the very important question of 'does this candidate care about people like you?’ John Edwards scores very high. People who wanted a candidate who cared about them voted for Edwards, people who wanted a candidate who could beat George Bush were voting for Kerry. But I think John Edwards has shown himself to be a tremendous campaigner, a real talent in the Democratic Party.”
Edward's is an ambulance chaser. He fights for the poor and under privileged for what is due them. He then takes 40 percent of that to add to his approximately 70 million $ estate. In other words he rods from the rich to give to the poor and then robs from the poor to make himself rich.He's a democrap
To me it was a bowel movement...
Colonoscopy Couric strikes again. To really know a person, you've got to know them from the inside out.
no wonder he cares so much
One notable thing about John Edwards's now-famous "Two Americas" speech is that it doesn't say anything — not a word — about terrorism. It doesn't mention Iraq, either. In fact, the only discussion of foreign affairs at all is Edwards's pledge to restore America's image in the world, which Edwards describes as "the image we used to have, America as the shining light on top of the hill, beacon of freedom, democracy, human rights."Keep that in mind when you hear the commentariat praising Edwards stump speech.

No wonder he wants to be in government--they take 72% of each dollar earmarked for the "poor", he's merely campaigning for a 32% raise.
