John Edwards and Wal-Mart: Playstation Before Principle

Edwards is an ex-senator, so the taxpayers wouldn't be paying for his staffers' salaries, even if he wasn't able to find suckers to work for him for free.

[Geronimo]

Just google the words, "attends to his hair" and watch this vain, prissy, ambulance-chasing little ass-clown preparing to give a television interview during the last Presidential Election campaign...

Never fails to put him into his proper perspective...lol

[Dixie Yooper]

I thought the staffer in question was a volunteer

He is a volunteer. Which brings up the question, if this so called volunteer was actually buying the PS3 for himself, how could he afford it if he's a volunteer? Seems to me that he is quite underpaid compared to the WalMart employees that Edwards is trying to rescue.

[OldFriend]

But but but they do eat at Wendy's.

[CobraJet]

Don't be so sure about tax payers funding his activities. He probably still has plenty of campaign funds left over that can be used to keep a "staff" on the payroll, even though he is doing nothing productive.

[Xenalyte]

But they also have lots of Playstation 3's at reasonable prices!

Playstation 3's what, Mr. Powers?

Also, no one has "lots." Stores started the day with 15 or 20.

[Peach]

So the millionaire wanted to save a few bucks but wants to deny the same privilege to the poor and middle class. Typical leftist hypocrisy.

[Xenalyte]

I'm curious how Jack knew the sneakers came from Wal-Mart. I didn't think there was such a thing as Wal-Mart brand sneakers.

[OldFriend]

One time when my son was in 7th. grade he commented that his friend's mom bought his clothes at Walmart. He said it in a mocking way.

I told him that ALL his holiday presents came from WalMart and that I was about to return them ALL.

We then had a serious conversation about thinking that some people were better than others because of income disparity and/or the labels on their clothing.

[Froufrou]

Dems are like stuck records.

[Sloth]

I can't believe a man who wants to be president thinks it is a good idea to say that he and his wife never shop at Wal-Mart.

And that he's glad his kid ridicules the poor kids for wearing Wal-mart clothes.

[conservativeharleyguy]

Good object lesson for your kid. I like it.

[The Great RJ]

Kind of like RFK, Jr. haranguing us for driving gas guzzling cars and using too much energy and then taking a limo to his private jet.

[Chances Are]

What do you expect from a(n) lawyer ambulance chaser?

There. Fixed it.

CA....

[OldFriend]

I was horrified by his comments but found it a perfect opportunity to talk about values. To think that Edwards bragged about his son's comments was very revealing.

[John123]

How embarrassing. Not only that, he sold his volunteer staffer up the river. Burning question of the day, does Edward know the Playstation is a video game... not a blow dryer for his hair?

[chiefqc]

What do you expect, he's a dumb-o-crat and is unable to tell the truth.

[MayflowerMadam]

This guy is such a weasel -- turning the blame on someone who works for him.

This guy is such a weasel -- turning the blame on someone who works for him.

You've noticed, I'm sure, that liberals are never to blame. For anything. It is absolutely never their fault. It is always somebody else's.

Like four-year olds; it must be in their genes.
