John Edwards: Bereft of Shame

Former US Senator John Edwards, who Mark Levin not so affectionately, but accurately refers to as a "slip and fall" lawyer, threw his hat into the presidential race today by sucking up to unfortunate minorities in hurricane sacked New Orleans.

Apparently he's playing the class envy card as he stressed the gap between rich and poor at his announcement to run. Both classes were well represented today at his announcement; the well placed poor minorities in front of as yet unrepaired storm damaged houses in the Ninth Ward and John Edwards, himself, who just today sold his Georgetown digs for more than $5 million. How timely, fitting and convenient that Edwards could represent the evil rich class at his very own announcement to run for president.

He could have really made some points with the poor folks in the Ninth Ward if he would have shown them photographs of his palatial estate situated on 100 acres in lily white Chapel Hill in North Carolina.

Since he has no shame (how many slip and fall lawyers do?) and clearly no common sense, it's going to be a real pleasure for those of us who do, to watch this laughable campaign. It will only be surpassed if John Kerry chooses to run again.
