I had hoped he was finished in 2004. Obviously, not quite.

Ping!

If this notorious swindler charlatan crooked shyster is a "populist," then I am certainly Mother Theresa.

[franksolich]

Hilarity will take care of him, never fear.

And by the way, Merry Christmas to you, sir!

To finish off a lawyer a wooden stake is required. Or at least backing the car over him - and then switching into "forward" gear again.

Populist my a#%. An ambulance chasing junk-science lawyer who sends his volunteers to Kmart to cut in front of the common folk to get a playstation for his kid.

[SoldierDad]

He's probably counting on his wife's cancer to bolster his popularity with the voters.

[indcons]

IMHO - probably one of your best Photoshops ever.

As a lifelong citizen of North Carolina, I want to apologize to the rest of the nation for inflicting John Edwards on you.

He and his wife have been filling my spam box for the last 2 years.

Just what we need, a PROFESSIONAL LIAR, a man who channeled dead children asserting that if their mothers would have been given C-sections,they would not have died, or not have been born deformed.

Course now that mothers routinely get C-sections, the rate at which children are born dead or deformed is unchanged.

To such a man, no contract is valid if his client is in pain at the end, and he gets his cut. Of course his client's pain doesn't keep him from making millions by getting money from said clients, despite their pain.

We saw what a presidential liar with an ambitious and unlovely wife could do to a country. Let's not go through that again.

So he will make the announcement in New Orleans. It does show his dedication to the cause - just think of all the money he could make suing people after he found a convenient victim.

Apparently Mr. Edwards thinks there is more money to made as President.

[Sooth2222]

"John Edwards will this week become the first Democrat heavyweight to announce his 2008 White House run."

If the Breck Girl is a Democrat "heavyweight" we have absolutely nothing to fear in 2008.

[Defender2]

I think the REAL Breck Girls are much smarter than he (edwards) is.

. . . . .Mother Theresa and Person of the Year in less than seven days ----- what a week you are having! /sarcasm

It's worse than that. It was Waaaaaaaal-maaaaaaart. You know, the store where they beat their employees every day and twice on Sunday. The store that carefully studies census data to find potential store locations with the maximum number of mom and pop shops around to bankrupt them. The store that is single handedly supporting the Chinese communist government and was probably behind the invasion of Tibet.

As a life long Mass-hole, I have been trying to apologize for every idiot that pops their head up every couple of runs. First it was Teddy, then Mike, then John...and now Mitt. Oh wait, I am supposed to like Mitt. Now, that's right...he's and lightweight idiot too.

We can apologize all we want. They still run and make our states look bad.

I feel your pain.

[Christian4Bush]

As a lifelong citizen of North Carolina, I want to apologize to the rest of the nation for inflicting John Edwards on you.

As a lifelong citizen of California, with my two glittering fools (errrrr....jewels) as Senators, I'll "see" your apology and "raise you" another!

[Mr. Silverback]

He's still finished, Ivan. The last poll I saw had him at 4%. He did so badly in the '04 primaries that if he hadn't been from a Southern state I don't think Kerry would have looked at him for VP.

[Vigilanteman]

Hey, at least Mitt actually earned his money rather than swindled people out of it via bogus lawsuits. It might be kind of fun to have a contest between the two best Breck boys from each party. But rest assured the owners of the respective party machinery are determined that we choose between Hitlery and McCain.
