"Absurd": Channeling John Edwards

Let's talk a little bit about former-Senator John Edwards, because he had some homownship ideas of his own. Again. from I believe i remember to be the Washington Post online:

Campaigning yesterday in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Mr. Edwards, of North Carolina, told a packed union hall that recent events had shown that global trade carried consequences not only for the nation's jobs but also for its health and safety.

"We need to make sure that trade is not only smart and good for America's economy and good for American workers, but safe for American families," Mr. Edwards said. "Regular families — their safety and their best interests — should come before the interests of multinational corporations."

So, if you made it through that blah blah blah, I give you a lot of credit and I like you already because you're obviously a backer of a winner - America's Senator. Anyway, I'm kind of a cynic, so when I read something as empty as this, it reminds me of the empty-suit speaking these words. A real embarrassment to the Party.

Let's face it. John Edwards is not going to beat America's Senator in the Primary. It's just not gonna happen. It's just way beyond his grasp of possibility. So let's consider him as a choice for Vice President. That didn't take long. He's not going to be chosen for the Vice President slot either. He's a past loser in that position so why would anyone with any brains try that again? I mean, he couldn't even deliver his home state, which is pretty much the biggest job of any Vice President in all of the four years of his service to the nation. So no, he's out. Stick a fork in him. He needs to go back to his 28,000 square foot house and start producing movies, meeting starlets, or something.

I'll say this and end mine: this is the guy who approached a jury in a multi-million dollar trial and told them that he had channeled the spirit of an unborn child, and that this little child was asking them to side with John Edwards. They've got a different way of doing things in North Carolina, I guess.
