Politics as usual today.
This Edwards guy that ran for the Democratic nomination... is he the one that got the $400 haircuts? Says his wife was in anguish over an "affair" he once had. Big whoopity-freaking-do. Now that the campaign money isn't rolling in, I'd be more concerned on how hubby is going to pay for those twice-weekly haircuts than over him diddling a movie-maker. She probably came free of charge as a job perk. People in high places have affairs, and politicians should know by now that they are fair game for any so-called news reporter in the world.
Seems like McCain has graciously inherited some of Bubba's political baggage in the form of Ralph Reed, an orifice from all the way back in the Reagan days. He was onetime boss of the "Christian Coalition", a lobbying group that held a lot of power in and over over this country as late as the 2004 elections. Reed was a wimpy, boyish looking "person" in a conservative suit. He too had a nice haircut, which makes one wonder whom he was porking. The good voters ate his line of bullshit until he admitted being an ally of the convicted crook Jack Abramoff. Well, he is now in McCain's Victory 2008 Team. No wonder I get pissed about religion and politics sleeping in the same bed.
My poor country!

I heard that Ralph Reed was hanging out in airports with Larry Craig.
What gets me is all the phony;s out there bashing Edwards when they stood behind Mr. Blue Dress.
Our local politics are getting bad also. David Davis doesn't to admit the Phil Roe beat him the local election last week.

Damn; I'd forgotten about good old Larry! I can just see those two playing tosies in bathroom stalls.
You know, I think Edwards was probably the most sincere of the bunch running for the pie, but being a good guy these days just about disqualifies a person from politics, even at the lower levels. Had he been nominated, this revelation of an affair would have automatically put McCain in office. People seem forgiving of Republicans doing the same thing, but Democrats get blasted when it becomes known. Goes all the way back to FDR, or farther. SPIN!
That is sort of comical, Alice. Davis is asking his supporters to foot the bill for all these goings on. I don't like either of them, but Davis took it for granted he had a lifetime job. Neither one ran on issues, but did the "in" thing and avoided the issues with mud slinging.
I wanted Dennis Kucinich.
Too hard to spell his name! :-)
