55 large would make a nice scholarship for some poor kids.

One of the best examples of irony I’ve ever seen.

I bet NC wishes they had this character back. People always fall for charlatans like that.

It doesn’t really matter.These appearances are paid for by student fees, which the university takes from the students without their consent at registration and spends as they see fit. The fund will be replenished at the next registration. It’s for the chillin’, after all.

$55,000.

At $400 per haircut (which is low for Edwards), no tip included, twice a month, he won’t have to worry about haircuts until September 2012.

What a lucky, lucky man.

Please, oh, please, Mr. Edwards, tell us how much you appreciate the rest of us! I live in the other America. I could use some cheering up right now.

I will send you whatever brand of shampoo you use if you drop out of the race today. Enough to last you 5.7 years.

Carla Marinucci usually does hit pieces on Republicans. This is refreshing.

In the mind of a liberal, this is TOTALLY justified.
