A Real 3 Dollar Bill

The chorus of derision John Edwards has provided fodder for in the lead up to the two ’National’ conventions is quite extraordinary considering the obvious phoniness that the candidate has provided all along. The ’Two America’s’ theme lost any resonance for the politically savvy when the Play Station gaffe did it’s rounds. Whatever spin Joe Trippi could counter with about the haircut fiasco it already set the tone with too many critics. Whatever the reality of the MSM failure to accept or pursue this latest scandal of a revered figure in politics it is endemic of the general malaise that has confounded decent journalism since the lead up to the invasion of Iraq. If Joe Trippi had pushed his sense that they should have pursued the nomination right up to a brokered convention, we might an adulterous liar acting as kingmaker between Obama and Clinton. How do these schleps manage for so long ?
