Sen. John Edwards, North Carolina Democrat and 2004 presidential hopeful, is four months delinquent in paying the property taxes on his Georgetown mansion and owes the cash-strapped District more than $11,000, city records show.

Mr. Edwards is worth somewhere between $12 million and $30 million after a successful career as a personal injury lawyer, according to his financial disclosure forms. He bought the eight-bedroom, 6,672-square-foot home in the tony neighborhood for $3.8 million in September.

I'm beginning to like this Edwards guy.

[Cold Heat]

Yeah right!

"Never got the bill"????

LOL!

[ozzymandus]

Typical lawyer. They don't pay their bills.

[Howlin]

I love this stuff. Just love it!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Typical RAT hypocrite and slimeball...not only will he lose in the RAT primaries he'll also lose his Senate seat as well.

He'd be forced to go back to ambulance chasing.

YOU MEAN LIKE THIS "BEACH HOUSE" ON A PRIVATE ISLAND??????

[justshe]

"That did not include the dozens of times the Edwardses paid months past the due dates on their Raleigh tax bills but were not assessed late penalties."

That stinks.

[dixiechick2000]

Now, this is funny!

[dixiechick2000]

It's a shame that you had to point that out. ;o)

[WKB]

Now, this is funny

Yes it is.
Move this to humor

[SevenofNine]

I don't know about you this stink in Demo party but I not suprise this same caindates that gave us CLINTONS BACK IN DA DAY

[Kozak]

Reminds me the late Harold Washington Mayor of Chicago.
When a Congressman he "forgot" to pay his income taxes.
Guess when the late mayors birthday was?
Bingo.

[Tamzee]

What an arrogant idiot LOL

[Dianna]

There seems to be a discrepancy here....

As of 3:30 p.m. yesterday, Mr. Edwards owed $11,092.46 with interest and penalties, according to the city's tax collection office.

The senator and his wife, Elizabeth, "had not received a bill. As soon as they received one, they paid it," the statement says.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yet another reason why Pretty-Bwa Edwards ain't gonna be winnin' bubkas come next year... *ping*

[kattracks]

IIRC, ex Mayor Dinkins of NY had some sort of tax problem too.

Of course, these guys get away with stuff that would cost us peons jailtime or hugh fines.

Check out this little item that caught my eye in this morning's paper.

[Straight Vermonter]

The check is in the mail.

[kattracks]

Maybe Edwards should get himself a lawyer?

Oh wait... nevermind.

[Constitution Day]

"As of 3:30 p.m. yesterday, Mr. Edwards owed $11,092.46 with interest and penalties, according to the city's tax collection office... Mr. Edwards' delinquency came during a year in which the city faced a $323 million budget shortfall.
The District was forced to cut funding for public education and a wide array of city services.

Shame on you, John! You are depriving the children of D.C. of a good education!
Won't you PLEASE pay your taxes... for the children?!?

LMAO!!

[mewzilla]

LOL. So how did the Wash Times find out about this? Chris Lehane?

[Hatteras]

One by one, the Clinton machine will pick off each of the nine candidates. Like ducks on a pond. The path will then be clear...

[TankerKC]

There seems to be a discrepancy here....

Have you ever paid a bill, then been hounded for weeks while they got their accounting processing in order? That could be the case here.

[Impy]

Johnny you rats are supposed to love taxes. Think of the children!!!

[mountaineer]

Maybe someone should check to see whether Johnny's paid the taxes on all his other real estate.

[mewzilla]

I'm sure someone is... :)

[Mamzelle]

re: typical lawyer...

You're right. Probably an alcoholic, too...

[DeFault User]

Maybe Edwards should get himself a lawyer?

He has a fool for a client.

THE NEW YORK SLIMES

ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS OUR AGENDA

As I recall, Dinky Davey did not even bother file a federal income tax return for three (3) count 'em, three (3) years at all



He also falsely reported his income while he was mayor of New York City and was getting rent controlled subsized housing rates on his large luxury apartment for a few hundred a month when he should have been paying over $2800 a month



This for a multi millionaire who played tennis while minorities rioted and killed innocent citizens because Dinky wanted to let them vent

[southernnorthcarolina]

The above pic is from the website of the guy who is trying to get his picture taken with all the Dem candidates, who he then proceeds to trash on his site (www.ninedwarfs.com). Pretty funny stuff. Dunno why, but his pic with Edwards makes me think of the George Thorogood song:

I was a rebel from the day I left school,
grew my hair long and broke all the rules
I'd sit and listen to my records all day,
with big ambitions of where I could play

My parents taught me what life was about,
so I grew up the type they warned me about
They said my friends were just an unruly mob,
and I should get a haircut and get a real job

Get a haircut and get a real job,
clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your big brother Bob,
why don't you get a haircut and get a real job

[jern]

I love it to. There is a reason why you don't run for president your first 6 years in the Senate. It is b/c you are a rookie, and you make rookie mistakes.

[Miss Marple]

Hey, thanks for telling us about that web site! It is really funny, and the guy is a pretty good political reporter. He does have some of the most amazingly ugly shirts I have ever seen, however. HA!

I particularly like the "shrunken heads on the mantle." LOL!

[Starboard]

"Anything that calls attention to his wealth will not be helpful to him."

Which explains why a compliant liberal media is so reluctant to mention wealth when it comes to Democrats.

[sandydipper]

"Only little people pay taxes".

[southernnorthcarolina]

Hey, thanks for telling us about that web site!

Actually, Miss Marple, credit should go to mr.sarcasic for bringing the website to our attention. A good find indeed. Here is his post.

[Howlin]

HAHAHA......I love it!

[Howlin]

Aren't we the chumps!

[Howlin]

You need to get that information to Agar.

Hope his hair spray is nonflamable because he is about to crash and burn.

[Constitution Day]

You need to get that information to Agar.

I'll be glad to. I hardly ever get to listen to his show anymore due to the hours I work.

Hope y'all are doing well! We are leaving for vacation to Nags Head next Saturday.

[Theodore R.]

No, Edwards can say he was late because "of the children." He can say he was trying to determine what charities he should support "for the children." Of course, we don't pay taxes on what we PLAN to contribute to a charity. So maybe that one wouldn't fly.

[alancarp]

Man, how tall is that guy??? I don't think Edwards is less than 6 feet tall himself, is he?

[F.J. Mitchell]

John just waited until he owed substantial penalties before paying the taxes, because he knew how strapped for funds the District was and wanted to help out.
