John Edwards buys Playstation 3 from Wal-Mart after bashing it posted at 6:41 pm on November 16, 2006 by Ian Send to a Friend | regular view
Former Senator and failed candidate for Vice-President John Edwards obtained the new video game system Playstation 3 from his local Wal-Mart today:
Just like the millions of Americans who turn to their neighborhood Wal-Mart for their holiday shopping needs, Wal-Mart announced today that former Sen. John Edwards is seeking to be one of the first to get a Sony PlayStation 3, one of the most coveted holiday gift items this Christmas season.
Last summer Edwards spoke at a Wake Up Wal-Mart bashing the retail giant:
We want every single consumer in America, every person in America, to know that if they walk into a Wal-Mart, that first of all their tax dollars are subsidizing Wal-Mart employees. Their tax dollars are helping provide health care for Wal-Mart employees, because Wal-Marts not doing it. Their tax dollars are going to provide housing and food stamps for Wal-Mart employees, Mr. Edwards told a crowd of 400 at Hill House. What is wrong with this picture?
Edwards knocking of Wal-Mart isnt just a one-time thing, but a hobby for him. In fact, just yesterday he was at another Wake Up Wal-Mart event, again bashing the company.
Townhalls Mary Katharine Ham has a picture of Edwards at an August Wake Up Wal-Mart event.

This is satire, right?
Just more sloppy liberal hyprocrisy.
But why would he do this? He could buy it anywhere.
wasn't Hillary on the BOD, too?
Hmm. I wonder how he managed to get it before anyone else. It's not supposed to go on sale until tomorrow (Friday). I asked one of the workers in the video department at our local Walmart and he said they were only getting 10 of the Playstation 3 consoles and they would be going on sale at midnight tonight.
Because he's a hypocrite like almost all liberals?
Maybe he has stock or maybe he promised to shut up about them for awhile to get a playstation 3 without standing in line somewhere
Well, now we know what Kerry's getting for Christmas.
People have been waiting in the lobby at our local Wal-Mart, camped out like refugees, on line to buy this blasted thing. Since Tuesday afternoon.
There are two Americas, according to John. Those with the PS3....and those without.
Wasn't he FNC's guest of the day yesterday?
ping!
another chapter in case Peter Schweizer puts out an expanded version of
"Do As I Say (Not As I DO); Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy".
That sounds about right. He's an ambulance chaser who ran as a V.P. candidate on reducing health care costs. So he at least sticks to his principles of hypocrisy.
