Anyone who buys Sen. John Edwards pro-war heroics right now needs to read the Pickering hearing transcripts. Edwards not only dissed this good Judge's character...his accusations were lies. Edwards, the trial lawyer, knows the power of legislating from the bench and is a smooth, cruel and ambitious liar. On Wednesdays, after a busy week of bearing false witness, he co-chairs the Senate prayer breakfast. Rant over
Edwards is dangerous. To a celbrity driven media culture that exhalts appearance over ideas and an electorate that fancies looks and style over substance, he has the formula for advancement. He is despicable and a walking poster for why lawyers should be ineligible for elected office.
