John Edwards aide: Hillary Clinton campaign 'corrupt'

WASHINGTON - Democratic White House front-runner Hillary Clinton's buck-raking campaign is a "poster child" for corrupt Washington, a top adviser for rival John Edwards charged yesterday.
"If you want to know why we need change in Washington ...then just look at Sen. Clinton's schedule for today," Edwards adviser Joe Trippi e-mailed supporters, calling her $1,000-a-head fund-raiser with security industry fat cats "a 'poster child' for what is wrong" with D.C.
"The American people know that the system in Washington has become corroded and corrupt," he continued, "yet too many in office have fallen under the spell of campaign money at any cost."
Edwards and Barack Obama have attacked Clinton on her Washington ties - intensifying their barrages since she gave back $850,000 from fugitive fund-raiser Norman Hsu.
Edwards' aides and his cancer-stricken wife, Elizabeth, have been particularly sharp in needling the former First Lady, calling her polarizing and suggesting she isn't the best advocate for women.
Camp Clinton shot back that Edwards was attacking out of desperation.
"Increasingly negative attacks against other Democrats aren't going to end the war, deliver universal health care or turn John Edwards' flagging campaign around," said spokesman Phil Singer.

Try this simple quiz.
“Corrupt” is to “Clinton” as:
a) “cold” is to “ice”;
b) “wet” is to “water”;
c) “hot” is to “Hell”;
d) a, b, and c.

Good for Trippi. He must be paying attention to the faxes I have been sending to his home in Maryland. :)

Democrats want to get primaries over early because the bloodletting between them all will need time to be ignored by the media with the pinheads who actually vote for these outrageously hypocritical scumbags.

Looks like the agreement for the public love-in between the dem candidates is over.
It was only a matter of time before Hillary pulled some crap and the others strike back.

Edwards is jealous. If he were having more luck at fund raising, no mater the source, he would be hauling it in.
