"Absurd"

Absurd is the word I use to describe former-Senator John Edwards' attempt to make headlines. Just as the Wall Street Journal was being bought by Rupert Murdoch - a big story for some reason, not like media consolidation is unpredictable or like we ever read that rag anyway - Senator Edwards announced that his money is no good. He went further, challenging every Democrat to give back money they had been paid by the Aussie magnate. The Senator Clinton team naturally said 'that's absurd.' And Senator Edwards could barely muster a "But," before the news came out that he himself declined to turn back $800,000 of his own Fox money. That looks pretty bad but Senator Edwards clarified with this statement: "This is nothing but a perfect example of what these people do. If you stand up to them and say consolidating the media is a bad thing, it's an unhealthy thing, what they do is attack you. They can continue to attack. They will not silence me." That statement did indeed clarify things, but only in a bad way for Senator Edwards. Why is this guy still in the race in Iowa? Vote Hillary.
