This is one vote Edwards never had
Elizabeth gripes; neighbor is famous
Leah Friedman, Staff Writer CHAPEL HILL - Monty Johnson was heading home Monday with a cooler full of catfish when he learned his new neighbor had turned him into a minor celebrity. The first calls on his cell phone came from two lawyers asking to represent him in a slander case. Elizabeth Edwards, they told him, had called him a "rabid, rabid Republican." That wasn't all. The Democratic presidential candidate's wife also told The Associated Press she didn't want her children near Johnson because, she said, he once pulled a gun on workers investigating a right of way on his property.
Johnson, a 55-year-old retired landscaper with arthritic knees, said he's not interested in suing.
"I'd just like to know why she has such hard feelings to me," he said. "They say they're for poor people."
But apparently, you're nobody until Elizabeth Edwards dislikes you.
But, but I thought they had Liz up for sainthood.
He said he wanted to thank Mrs. Edwards, because without her he would not have what he is going to get in the next few days, a personal visit from Rudy Guiliani!
He also said he didn't know why Mrs. Edwards would say such bad stuff about him, because he had never met her.
And he had NEVER pulled a gun on anyone.
HA!
Taxes run up by the developement of houses like Edwards'. Man, Edwards is so out of touch he can't even see American anymore.
I guess that’s why they keep Liz muzzled. Edwards learned a lesson from John Kerry’s mistake of not keeping his gin soaked sugar momma quiet.
Landlock Edwards. Buy a piece of property Edward’s road passes thru and then refuse to grant him easement.
His existence is enough reason.
Elizabeth Edwards: A member of the vast left wing Mommy Party.
So Elizabeth lied about him? There is one recourse: Sue her!!
It’s clear the Edwardses want to intimidate the Johnsons and push them off their land.
Maybe he gave her cancer.
Who’s telling the truth here, you or the “Raleigh News and Observer”? They claim that Leah Friedman wrote this article but you claim that you did.
Just kidding you a bit. I believe you put your screen name where the author’s belongs.
Heh - fair point.
I drive by both the Johnsons’ and Edwards’ property pretty much twice a month when I head out Old Greensboro Road to the country buffet out in Snow Camp, NC (goodness, that Easter lunch was magnificent). They live out in farm country - I see absolutely nothing wrong with the Johnsons’ property - it fits right in to the surroundings. On the other hand, the Edwards’ driveway entrance is the only one that’s paved and quickly winds back into a thick forest. Nevertheless, they have posted a stark “no trespassing!” sign on one of the trees. It’s really out of place with the character of the surroundings, much more than Mr. Johnson’s land.
Please, Elizabeth, stop messing with the folks that have carried down the wonderful character of this region. I highly doubt THEY will ever take the sylvan drive west to dine at Ye Olde Country Kitchen...
this is funny
“Animal Farm” is alive and well on the Edwards Estate.
“All pigs are created equal; some pigs are more equal than others.”
And by acting like such jerks, they shrink the pool of willing buyers, so Johnson may have to sell cheap.
Maybe cheap enough so the new owner can afford to build some Section 8 housing, a Wal-Mart or something.
Wow....I’ve read before that she is a mean one.
