..... until now.
This is just plain sick.
Exactly.
This is really crass, but did he sue Jeep?
The cop said it was just another case of inexperienced driver error.
Once the car came to a rest, my son turned off the ignition and climbed out the window. He was standing by the side of the road when the police arrived and asked where the driver's body might be.
The difference in outcomes is a direct consequence of my having made sure my son had a safe car with titanium ribs in the roof. Apparantly Edwards didn't care what his kid was driving and it ended up killing him.
The lesson is parents should become more involved in their children's lives.
Y'all gimme that sympathy vote, hear?
Babwa Wawa will ask Edwards about his dead son, and Edwards will cry two taseful, well-planned tears.
What a horrible tragedy...
Grab your barf bag and keep talking about the media bias. Our only defense will be in exposing the bias. We can't compete with their media power.
A terrible shame, yes, but some would say that doing everything for a deceased child is dysfunctional.
This was a tragedy no family should have to suffer. I am sure they miss their son every single day. It is a terrible thing to outlive a child.
I am getting sick of the Demos using personal tradegies for political gain: Al Gore with his sister and son, Wellstone death, and now Edwards. FDR did not look for sympathy for being a polio victim. This is definately the "Oprahization" of this country. It makes me want to puke.
I was shocked to see those young kids being hustled off to the campaign yesterday. I guess I would be more impressed if Edwards decided to be home to see them grow up, and not miss a moment. Somehow his decision to go for it in politics for himself seems very selfish after having just embarked on fatherhood again.
Then owa friend's son got caincer, and owa neighber's daughter lost her baby, and our cousin got killed in Afghanistan... (sniff sniff)
Then there was the brother of ma sista's cousin carl who lost a leg in Viet Nam, and her great uncle who got blowed up in Korea...
Then in world war II.......
These stories are always a no win for anyone to say something about. But,still it is very sad the way politicians of both parties bring some personal family tragedy into the public eye to perhaps garner the sympathy vote.
I shudder remembering how macabre was Gore's convention speech about his young childs brush with death and how effective it was in creating support and sympathy amongst people who saw it. I was repelled by the use of such a personal tragedy at such an inappropriate public spectacle. Hopefully Mr Edwards is more of a man than Gore was.
BTW, I thought we were not supposed to be interested in his personal life. I guess that's only if the info will hurt his chances at a successful liberal power grab.
This is beyond disgusting to pull in the parents' who lost their child vote. The slime! With Edwards' stand on abortion....
