Was Edwards part of the most ethical congress before he left?
Same question for William “Cold hard cash” Jefferson.
Maybe they can share a room at the minimum security golf academy.

GOOD POINT. If the MSM is covering this it means the DEMS are throwing him to the dogs. Why should we help?

That’s the cool liberal “I’m an artist” look... (of course none of them ARE artist - but it “feels” good to them to pretend.

Corruption is 100% in the Democrat party. It’s a prerequisite in fact. If you aren’t corrupt, you can’t join, and if you aren’t corrupt enough, they will bring a new member up to standards in short order.

I can’t believe she brought the baby. Attempts at sympathy votes can often backfire. Dumb.

Why would she bring the toddler to court while attempting to sneak into a back entrance?

"Artist" is just another name for welfare recipient who likes to play with paint. Just as they give methadone to regular welfare recipiet drug addicts, they give extra funds to welfare recipients addicted to paint thinners.

You’re right. We also have corruption, but we try to root it out. For liberals, it’s a prerequisite to power.

I wonder if Edwards was seen as a serious threat to Obama and had to be “taken out”, a la Jack Ryan.

Her publicist can charge more for the photos if the baby is in them.
