Wait until the people of Boston get the bill for the Beantown Convention. They are already arguing who will pick up the enormous costs. I heard Edwards will have an entire staff filming "slip and falls" for his referrals. I also heard he will be having a card drop at all bars and lounges throughout the area.

LOL - okay okay what do I know??? I'm one of those rotten North Easterners! ;-)

A trial lawyer accusing someone of exploiting people's pain and suffering, that's rich.

But I do understand your visceral disgust. I share it completely. I think the reason I dislike Sen. Exlax even more than BJ Klinton is because as governor, at least Klinton actually had experience running SOMETHING. There NOTHING in the Breck Girls resume that relates to management of anything. Just the idea that HE thinks he is presidential material makes me want to puke. And the fact that he is developing a following is a crystal clear indication of just how vapid and shallow most liberals are. They would vote for an empty suit like Edwards even if he was a communist -- just because they think he has nice hair.

AAAAAaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! It's enough to drive a good man insane.

[dead]

I guess the Dems are going to Massachussetts to exploit Mary Jo Kopekne's pain.

Edwards - a real two-inch Twinkie.

Edwards only has 5 years under his belt as Senator. He's an inexperienced Breck Boy who thinks that he can charm his way into the presidency. Believe me (and I hate to say this) but EDWARDS is NO BILL CLINTON!! Clinton is alot smarter and slicker than Edwards. Edwards just made his biggest mistake of his candidancy by saying what he did. As much as NYC is a liberal hell hole they will pay him back for this when they have to vote in the primary. He is going to lose BIG TIME in NY! I am making a prediction here. Kerry comes in 1st, Sharpton comes in second and Edwards third. What do you think?

[Lee'sGhost]

I'm sorry, after electing Hitlary I wouldn't dare try to predict what New Yorkers would do re anything having to do with politics. I can only hope that you are right.

But I will say it really chaps my @ss that Edwards said "focused" on the divide between rich and poor in the city, "ticking off negative economic indicators and citing job losses, rising bankruptcies and increased poverty rates."

This is the jerk who blabbers about Bush being of two Americas. What a hypocritical, lying, two-faced POS.

[Moby Grape]

"The GOP is exploiting NYC's pain" said the ambulance chasing lawyer who made millions by bringing American companies to their knees with frivolous law suits.

Actually they did a poll in New York State and NOONE wants her to be president. She would be stupid to try it. She has a safe haven in the Senate right now. Why louse it up?

[AmishDude]

Actually, the Dems (Clintons, if the stories are true) wanted a NYC convention, too, but Teddy put his foot down.

[Hi Heels]

Emotional screaming ala Hitlery. He's got the same M.O. Yell and shock people. Little red rooster.... A Howard Stern type.

First time I saw Hitlery do it was when Bush went over to the troops on Thanksgiving. She about lost her mind. I honestly thought she was going to swallow her tongue. Gave the old "I'm tired of being called unpatriotic because I disagree with the president" speech at the top of her lungs with all her hormones showing. I wrote her and said I called her unpatriotic because she crapped on democracy. I mentioned she did this by significantly reducing the chances of making my fortune since under her plan I would have to share for the common good, a socialist pattern. She was costing me and probably the country money. That we didn't wish to become equal to, say, India. Then I mentioned that, personally, I found her unpatriotic to women as well as the country. She debased women by allowing her husband to use her as a doormat. That making him "sleep on the couch for a couple of days" was punishment for buying some power tool and not telling me, but adultery is punishable by "kick to the curb" justice. Then I asked if those reasons for calling her unpatriotic were more appropriate, was THAT ok with her since, evidently, she was so weary of our opinion. After all, we just pay her......and her manslut husband. Still. Makes me a little sick to think about it.

This guy has the same style. Yell loud enough about something, no matter how much of a lie it is, and some moron out there will listen.

[F16Fighter]

Gee -- Just when it looked as though Edwards was beginning to dismiss his reputation as a good-for-nothing air-headed "himbo"...

I wonder how Edwards would look as a bleached-blonde?

[Howlin]

Would he try to ''talk and negotiate'' with the terrorists or would he fire off a few ineffectual cruise missiles a la Clinton?

Kerry is on record as saying he will return to the "law enforcement" rules of dealing with terrorists.
