He probably traded the advance for future hair cuts and jet fuel for his planes.
He should say frankly that this is not a campaign contribution, but a payment for his book.
I assume Harper paid him this not because they thought he was a great guy, but because they expected to make money on this business deal.
Greedy self-obessed prat.
But hey, what am I to expect? He only holds others to that standard. Maybe Breck Girl needs another 2,000 haircuts between now and then?
Let's see $800,000...that's haircuts for 200 lucky underpriveledged kids.
Just when you think the Silky Pony has sunk to the absolute depths of hypocrisy, he slips into another hole.
Blitzer just gave Hillary the lead in Iowa...
“Rules for thee, not for me.”
Hypocrisy is abundant on the left.
Edwards is self destructing right before our eyes. He is dead as a candidate.
Like all large donor Murdoch gives to all sides so as to maintain access to the centers of power no matter who wins.
It goes to show how far left of center Clinton and Obama are. Edwards seeks to get to the left of Clinton and Obama and he cannot find any real issue on which he is more liberal than they are, so he pathetically makes Murdoch a bogeyman and seeks to engage them on a point that has no real traction with anyone other than the media who is forced to cover him as a serious candidate.
Hasn't anyone ever seen films of sharks in the ocean? They swim freely among each other. They're only dangerous to other living creatures. Does that help folks understand the essential nature of John Edwards? And why Edwards could never again be elected Dogcatcher in Durham, in North Carolina?
We got to know him, so you don't have to. It's a filthy job, but somebody had to do it.

A powderpuff interviewer puts a powderpuff candidate on the spot. Sorry I missed that. Did Wolfy say Senator I have always admired your hair, and Edwards responded by saying I have always like your beard?

It's not that this is a contribution--it's a payment for a book. But HE is the one who made an issue of her taking the $$$ from a Murdoch company, so if he thinks that kind of money is tainted, he should do the "noble" thing and give the advance back.
What he should have done, of course, was shut up about money coming from Murdoch.
What a big-mouthed nothing--another Bill Clinton. That the media is obsessed with this nothing is not a shock, considering how many women and gays in the media are turned on by slick, shallow democrats.
This turdburger with extra cheese is is such a lightweight loser that he can’t even fool the biggest simpletons on the planet, Democrat primary voters.
Edwards is a slimy, lying trial lawyer. No surprise about this story at all.
Time to send lard-ass Elizabeth out to do another “hit” on someone.
She’s like his Luca Brasi, only fatter.
