FLASH:
Dem vp hopeful John Edwards cut to the chase last night on ABCNEWS NIGHTLINE:
ABC'S BOB WOODRUFF: "He has avoided the kind of negative attacks that can make national news, although recently, he has stepped up his rhetoric."
SEN. JOHN EDWARDS (D-NC) (clip of a speech): "I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind."
WOODRUFF: "There's been criticism that you have been too soft."
EDWARDS: "Do I seem soft to you?"

Metrosexual soft.
Yes. Of course.
Soft, with an overcompensating big mouth full of empty bravado signifying nothing.
He said this while channeling George Washington...
Glenn Beck was just ripping this guy a new one this morning. He was 'interviewing' an 'Edwards debate advisor' who was discussing the Edwards campaign rhetoric and what they were contemplating for the debate. Two of many memorable lines:
"We thought about saying 'If you vote for George Bush, you're loco.' Kind of a shout out to our Hispanic voters, if you will."
One of the lines we're contemplating for the debate - "Cheney and Halliburton up in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G". What do you think, pretty effective, huh?
All said in this deep serious voice, of course. And every time Glenn would question the seriousness of Edwards' statements, he would say "He looked great, didn't he?" It was one of the best and funniest pieces I've every heard Glenn Beck do.
This is not the character of a man who might be one heartbeat away from the nuclear codes.
Even Fox News this morning was saying that the majority expect Edwards to win the debate. Sounds like a self fullfilling prophecy.
"EDWARDS JUST INSULTED OVER HALF THE PEOPLE IN THE U.S. Congratulations Edwards you're an idiot!"
Yes, but he's a useful idiot. The Bush campaign couldn't buy this type of advertising. Keep giving Edwards more rope.
EDWARDS: "Do I seem soft to you?"
Yes, johnny...soft as that leading bathroom tissue....
EDWARDS: "Do I seem soft to you?"
Yeah Opie. You are soft and weak like your wife's many rolls of fat.
The headline should read, "Edwards says half the country is crazy"
So, we're extreme Un-American goons that terrorize the sane.
Uh-huh.
Senator Edwards, I advise you go with that line in the debates tonight. :-)
Been a bit nuts here for a long time. Already voted (absentee) for GW and Dick.
and let terahyzaaaaaa out too
Maybe FReepers going after Edwards need to start waving rolls of Charmin and chanting 'Soft, soft, soft'
One genius even runs around the forum saying people who don't vote for Bush aren't Christians.
I guess I have lost my mind but I may have an excuse, My 2 Senators are Kerry and Kennedy and my congressman is Barney Frank!
If you vote for Edwards, you're a poopy head. Wow, I'm as brilliant as the two most brilliant and sexy men in the world.
For what it's worth: Andrew Sullivan says today on his website that he thinks Cheney is sexier than Edwards.
