CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina — Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards' campaign headquarters in North Carolina was evacuated after a staff member opened a letter containing white powder, a campaign official said.

"The health and safety of our staff and volunteers is obviously our paramount concern, so we contacted the authorities," Jonathan Prince, deputy campaign manager said after the evacuation Wednesday. "The authorities have asked us to evacuate while they run tests on the substance, and we have done so."

An unidentified employee of Mr. Edwards was overheard saying, "I've never seen him act this way about Cocaine before."

When it comes to poking fun at this clown, I don't think you'll be disappointed here. He's barely a blip on the primary radar, he's a charlatan and he'd do anything to get a bit of media attention. Yep, we'll poke fun all right.

What would you be thinking, and saying, if this turned up in one of the Republican candidate headquarters?

I would say, "Geez, what a cheap publicity stunt!"

In fact, that's what I'm saying now.

Oh Please! Why would any anarchist lefty murderous thug send anthrax to a fellow traveler like John Edwards?

Maybe it was silk pony pixie dust.

[Holicheese]

I guess they forgot to invite Ted kennedy and Patches Kennedy. They are always up for a party!

T.K. "Hey, err ahh, I will bring the chivas and the broads if you eehhhh ahhh err bring the blow!"

B.H.O., "I neva' been there befo'!"

Asshole. I'm sure he planted it himself to get the headlines.

Dandruff!

As Obama sez, 'he is kinda cute!' (but not a bundle of wood)

[Just another Joe]

I get the feeling that you folks just don't get it.

Whether or not this is anthrax just doesn't matter, it's a threat to another US citizen. Whether we like him or not doesn't matter.

And don't try to fool yourselves, if this had happened at the headquarters of Thompson (I know, he hasn't declared yet), Hunter, or even McCain, Romney, or Gulianni, you'd be screaming for someone's head on a pike.

People, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. You let it go this time and next time it very well could be your man.

I'm sure he planted it himself to get the headlines.

That was my first thought.
