After all, it has been decades since we heard any serious presidential candidate speak up for the poor. Not since LBJ.
It sounded good.
And, who knows, if he had been elected president he may have thrown out a few bones to the poor. Since his sex life is quite a different matter from his politics. Though, apart from the squalor of his affairs, he really displayed a reckless disregard for the good of our country.
In 2004, when it briefly looked as if Dean might get the nomination, Carol Mosley Brown threw her support to Dean. And implied Edwards was a phony. I always wondered what she meant by that. Now I know.
I once heard an old timer, beard, country accent and all, tell me what the difference between a Republican and a Democrat is. According to the old timer, the Republicans keep the entire hunk of meat. The Democrats take the meat but at least throw back a bone with a bit of marrow to make some soup. That comes pretty close, don't you think?
The Wulfshead club is a well known watering hole for all the strange and unusual people in the world. And for those just passing through... No one's quite sure exactly where the club itself is located, and the very anonymous management likes to keep it that way, but there are authorized access points at locations all around the world, if you know where to look. And if your name's on the approved list. ~Simon Green, Daemons Are Forever
Silly hobbies?

I liked him and didn't' really care that he had an affair, but the way the whole thing has been handled has diminished him.
ReplyDeleteThe most powerful force on earth is not the hydrogen bomb. It is the vagina.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a point there.
ReplyDeleteEr, not physically necessarily but the mental one.
Oh, down here in ol' virginny, we knew he was a dog :)
