Writing on behalf of his One America political action committee, former Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards sent an email Saturday seeking signatories in an effort to expand the powers of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to investigate President Bush’s role in the strategic leaking of information related to Iraq.
In the form letter on Edwards’ site, he writes, "I urge you to extend Mr. Fitzgerald’s charter to include the behavior of the President in this disgraceful affair."
The letter to supporters, while unlikely to influence the investigation, signals that Edwards continues to remain active on the political scene, and could indicate an effort to advance a 2008 presidential run.

Besides media attention ... What the hell is he up to now?
I'm sure we can count of plenty of signators to this.
Just remember all of you "I'm sitting home in November" people -- this is what is going to happen 24/7/365 if you hand the power back to the Democrats.
They'll do this, plus impeach Bush, AFTER they dismantle the Electoral College.
Idiots.
John who??? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Hairs,hair, and only a small portion behind it.
How's he doing with his prognosis of telling wheel the chair bound they could get up and walk normal provided Bush approves stem cell research with fetuses.
CIA Leaker, Mary Mcarthy was in the IG office of the Agency and therefore played a role in the referral letter on the Libby case which had to be a pack of lies.
Was Patrick Fitzgerald recommended by McCarthy????
Yet this little pixie lightweight shyster bloodsucking lawyer scum doesn't have a word of condemnation for Mary McCarthy, who we know actually leaked real live classified information.
The Minutemen of the 1960's don't look so goofy now, do they? Robert DePugh and his band of patriots were right.
BAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!
OMG...these dems CANNOT restrain themselves. They are incapable of waiting for the FACTS to be presented before going off on emotional tangents, demanding this and that...Edwards is an absurd man.
The Minutemen of the 1960's don't look so goofy now, do they?

They were right. Flat out. And they are STILL RIGHT.
John.....maybe if you and your loser buddy hadn't LOST the election, you might have a say in this, but since you didn't, why not take the advice of one American and SHUT THE _ _ _ _ UP. ( Sorry but it is not a real great Monday, in this part of the world)
Dear John,
Please go back to raising people out of their wheelchairs, comunicating with dead 7 year olds, and leave the politics to normal people.
In the form letter on Edwards’ site, he writes, "I urge you to extend Mr. Fitzgerald’s charter to include the behavior of the President in this disgraceful affair."
If you want to talk about disgrace, here is disgrace...
(past article on Edwards from Ann Coulter)
Despite the overwrought claims of Edwards' dazzling legal skills, winning jury verdicts in personal injury cases has nothing to do with legal talent and everything to do with getting the right cases -- unless "talent" is taken to mean "having absolutely no shame." Edwards specialized in babies with cerebral palsy whom he claimed would have been spared the affliction if only the doctors had immediately performed Caesarean sections.
As a result of such lawsuits, there are now more than four times as many Caesarean sections as there were in 1970. But curiously, there has been no change in the rate of babies born with cerebral palsy. As The New York Times reported: "Studies indicate that in most cases, the disorder is caused by fetal brain injury long before labor begins." All those Caesareans have, however, increased the mother's risk of death, hemorrhage, infection, pulmonary embolism and Mendelson's syndrome.
In addition, the "little guys" Edwards claims to represent are having a lot more trouble finding doctors to deliver their babies these days as obstetricians leave the practice rather than pay malpractice insurance in excess of $100,000 a year.
In one of Edwards' silver-tongued arguments to the jury on behalf of a girl born with cerebral palsy, he claimed he was channeling the unborn baby girl, Jennifer Campbell, who was speaking to the jurors through him:
"She said at 3, 'I'm fine.' She said at 4, 'I'm having a little trouble, but I'm doing OK.' Five, she said, 'I'm having problems.' At 5:30, she said, 'I need out.'"
"She speaks to you through me and I have to tell you right now -- I didn't plan to talk about this -- right now I feel her. I feel her presence. She's inside me, and she's talking to you."
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde on the death of Little Nell, one must have a heart of stone to read this without laughing. What is this guy, a tent-show preacher? An off-the-strip Las Vegas lounge psychic couldn't get away with this routine.
Is Edwards able to channel any children right before an abortionist's fork is plunged into their tiny skulls? Why can't he hear those babies saying, "Let me live! Stop spraying this saline solution all over me!" Edwards must experience interference in channeling the voices of babies about to be aborted. Their liberal mothers' hands seem to muffle those voices.
While making himself fabulously rich by taking a one-third cut of his multimillion-dollar verdicts coaxed out of juries with junk science and maudlin performances, Edwards has the audacity to claim, "I was more than just their lawyer; I cared about them. Their cause was my cause."
If he cared so deeply, how about keeping just 10 percent of the multimillion-dollar jury awards, rather than a third? In fact, as long as these Democrats are so eager to raise the taxes of "the rich," how about a 90 percent tax on contingency fees?
For someone who didn't care about the money, it's interesting that Edwards avoided cases in which the baby died during delivery. Evidently, jury awards average only about $500,000 when the babies die, and there is no disabled child to parade before the jury.
Edwards was one of the leading opponents of a bill in the North Carolina Legislature that would have established a fund for all babies born with cerebral palsy. So instead of all disabled babies in North Carolina being compensated equitably, only a few will win the jury lottery -- one-third of which will go to trial lawyers like Edwards, who insists he doesn't care about the money.
Despite the now-disproved junk science theory about C-sections preventing cerebral palsy that Edwards peddled in the channeling case, the jury awarded Edwards' client a record-breaking $6.5 million. This is the essence of the modern Democratic Party, polished to perfection by Bill Clinton: They are willing to insult the intelligence of 49 percent of the people if they think they can fool 51 percent of the people.
So while Michael Moore, Al Franken, George Soros, Crazy Al Gore and the rest of the characters from the climactic devil-worshipping scene in "Rosemary's Baby" provide the muscle for the Kerry campaign, Kerry picks a pretty-boy milquetoast as his running mate, narrowly edging out a puppy for the spot. Just don't ask the Democrats what they believe. Edwards' father was a millworker, and that's all you need to know.

Fitz WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY FURTHER POWERS. That can be counted on. Now who is John Edwards? Oh yes, just another loser.
I believe that when the "other shoe" drops on this gang of traitors, it will sound like Riverdance. Hoping!
No problem, John - how about we expand it to include the fifth-columnists at the CIA, State & Justice, and their connections with Demorat activists, the dinosaur media, Sen Rockefeller, Sandy Burglar, Schmucky Schumer, Cattlegate, pardongate, Kerry's missing Form 180, and your possible tax evasion? Okay by you?
Isn't it John Edward's wife whose a poster at DU? Now I understand where and why Edward's is pushing this. LOL...his wife is a hard left loon....
