His dad did work in a mill but was a manager and well paid.

It is a normal human practice to allow the dead to lay in peace.


Though there may be some that believe that John Edwards is alive, I can assure you that he is quite dead.

Like Howard Dean, Al Gore and John Kerry, (just to name three) John Edwards is a figment of his, and other deluded persons, imaginations. And that aroma you smell isn't rotting fish.

December 13, 2005

Devin Talbott, his brother Adrian and Justin Rockefeller have such privileged lives that they must be tempted to get on with them and let other young people get on with theirs unaided.

But they’re spending a good deal of time in an effort, which others have tried in vain before, to get their generation involved in politics.

Devin, 29, and Adrian, 25, are the sons of Strobe Talbott, former deputy secretary of state in the Clinton administration and now president of the Brookings Institution. Rockefeller, 26, is the son of Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).

(snip)

The Talbotts, both Democrats, brainstormed at a wedding in Kansas City, Mo., and knew they had to get involved. They enlisted Rockefeller, a friend they had grown up with in political Washington. In February 2005, the trio launched Generation Engage at Kennedy Center, with Coretta Scott King, widow of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) as keynote speakers.

Admittedly, When I read "John Edwards" in the headline, I thought they were talking about the guy who talks to dead people on TV. I forgot all about the other one.

Dear John Edwards,

You could have prevented my bone crushing life of poverty if you had only chosen not to sue my former employer into bankruptcy, putting 125 people onto the bread lines while fattening your wallet.

I am continually amazed that this man is a successful lawyer.

Guess being a lawyer really doesn't require much intelligence.

In all seriousness, where I grew up, managers in any business were rich yuppie scum. I'm not kidding. He didn't grow up poor at all, IMHO.

The poverty argument works.

When I was kid my mother told me to eat my peas because there were starving people in India. When I refused and offered to mail the peas to India, I got sent to my room. After that I ate the stupid peas.

Ask former Sen. John Edwards a question about foreign relations, and he's likely to respond with an answer about poverty.

Lor', luve a duck...Just like the feminists -- where everything ties back to their vaginas. And while they demand that they be respected for their great "brains". As I've said for years, feminists think with their sexual organs; and have sex with their brains. And demand to be respected as "hole" persons. Nutzoid.

Edwards is no more of a phoney than the rest of the Dims but he is arguably the most transparent phoney of them all.
