Hey, that's my line. Heh heh heh...

Steyn's deconstruction of Edwards' tale about his dad and the restaurant is great. I think he may have caught him in a fib.
Oh and BTW, to "Mr. man of the working people" Edwards.
Thanks for the no show at your senate seat during the first vote on unemployment benefits extension. It went down by 2 votes that time. My two Republican Senators voted for it. Interesting.
Yet you and your cohort Kerry had bigger fish to fry. While were out campaigning and photo opping instead of doing your job, I had to delve into my savings while helping care for my dying father.
Thanks alot, I sleep so much better knowing that we have YOU looking out for the hard working people of this country.
Radiating all the vigour and enthusiasm Kerry had surgically removed at birth, the honey-toned Edwards found himself adored by the media for his "two Americas" stump speech, a Disraelian portrait of Dickensian gloom conjured in the tones of a Depression-era sob-sister.
Yeah she's starting to look really cute!

Everytime I read about this ridiculous summation, I have to wonder if Edward's was listening to, "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," when he thought of it. I really hope this becomes the focal point of the Pro-Lifers in this election.
And now his son is an ambulence chaser. He must have anguished over where he went wrong.
Yep, or singing the union ditty twenty years before it was written.
John Edwards' dad, like Dick Gephart's dad, seems to have been a better provider than we're led to believe. I wonder if the elder Edwards was a Republican, too, like Dad Gephart -- the milkman who hated his union.
Anyone who grew up in a mill town (I did) should immediately recognize the drama queen quality of Edwards' claim to knowin' what it's all about.
My grandmother on my father's side quit school in the 7th grade to work as a bobbin girl in the textile mills in the Merrimack Valley in Massachusetts. They were the poor people.
On the other hand, my grandfather on my mother's side was a supervisor in the same textile mills before and during the Depression.
My mother often remarked how many of her contemporaries had different memories of the Depression than she did, because her father had a relatively good-paying job as a supervisor, way further down on the list than Edwards' father and in hard times, and that she had no memories of deprivation during the Depression.
Another great one from Steyn ... though Conan is in fact on NBC, not CBS.
"Edwards is a lawyer, and supposedly his great strength is his ability to make an argument and sell it to a jury."
True enough. But you have to remember what a jury is: a bunch of morons, hand picked for their prejudice and ignorance. The american people aren't a jury.
Very Good Read!
So buy an SUV and drive you cold hearted greenies!
Let's get it warmer around here so this little girl doesn't have to suffer!
Actually, the term "trial lawyers" also covers those who defend the deep-pockets corporations from these frivolous suits. The plaintiff's attorneys are the ones who actually file them -- and work on a contigency basis. IOW, if the client doesn't win, they don't get much of anything, but if the client wins, they get 33-40% of the amount awarded. But, for the most part, defense attorneys work for set fees or billable hours.
Great pic of Jenna! :)
I also like how Kerry has been "too busy" to get a national security briefing -- but not too busy to yuk it up with a bunch of foul-mouthed celebrities at his own fundraiser. What a jerk!
