Bravo. Well done!
Folks, the actual quote, in Edwards' own words, is at about 1:25 into the linked audio.

I hope President Bush brings this up tomorrow night when Lurch starts spouting off about Stem Cell research

Now I want them publicly - and painfully - eviscerated.

Based on Kerry's lack of intestinal fortitude, he may come up empty.

We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases...People like Chris Reeve will get out of their wheelchairs and walk again with stem cell research.

One of the most outrageously demagogic and asinine pronouncements ever made in American politics.Shocking but I'm not shocked.

Oh and nice Jay Leno one liners type jokes .. I noticed Kerry did the same thing at yesterday's rally

Kerry's problem is he's neither funny or entertaining.

"We will do stem cell research," he vowed. "We will stop juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases. America just lost a great champion for this cause in Christopher Reeve. People like Chris Reeve will get out of their wheelchairs and walk again with stem cell research."

Biggest load of horsesh** I've ever heard uttered from a politician in my lifetime. Just when you thought they couldn't go any lower, they do.

BS! 'Terror Is A Nuisance' was a distortion, according to Slip'n'Fall.

In the beginning of Jay's Show they showed Edwards writting cue cards that read Bush is Dumb

You missed the part where Jay asked him about running *cough* 5 miles a day and if he could beat Bush in a match ... Edwards then says how he was a football player and Bush was on the side lines being a cheerleader with his pom poms

I have never ever seen such juvenile behavior in a candidate before

This election year has been without a doubt, more surreal than a Twilight Zone episode. Thanks to the freakin' Democrats.
