Cram time: Edwards fails a practice test

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS had a “duh” moment in Bartlett on Wednesday.

Edwards was there to hand out copies of his 60-page booklet detailing his policy agenda for the nation. The first line of his booklet reads, “I’ve spent the last year putting together a detailed plan to get our country moving again.”

Handing out the booklet in Bartlett, he said, “I want you to know where I stand on everything.”

Then the head of Derry’s teachers’ union asked Edwards what he would do to improve standardized testing. His answer? He didn’t know enough about the subject to give an answer.

The man spent the past year crafting a “detailed plan” for the country, and he has no opinion on standardized testing, one of the hottest subjects in America in the past two years?

Looks like Sen. Edwards is trying to take one of the most important tests in the country without having finished his homework.

The 'Breck Girl' roots are showing.

Edwards really thought his boyish good looks were going to get him where he wants to go. How many times is it that he's drawn a blank on a question? And, does anyone believe him when he says, “I’ve spent the last year putting together a detailed plan to get our country moving again”? Puhleez!

He could have saved himself a lot of effort and just handed out the Communist Manifesto on behalf of all the dimwit candidates.

You're absolutely right. He pictures himself as a JFK but when he opens his mouth, nothing comes out. He's a puppet but the Dems are only out to see what works with the American Public....and he doesn't. No Money...No Run!!!

Not only does he know nothing, he suspects nothing.

He should cross over and ask a dead person for some help. Like Tipsy O'Neill.

Just like the Johnny English motto:
"He knows no danger. He knows no fear. He knows nothing."
Funny movie, BTW.

Should have spent the last year taking care of business in North Carolina.
