Blame it on the flunkie..

Plausible deniability for a Playstation 3 at Wal-Mart? I hope this idiot wins the democrat nomination in 2008.

[noexcuses]

What does Edwards do that he needs a staff... and a volunteer one at that?

[mylife]

This really is unfair.
Im sure john john really does disaprove of wally world.
Everyone knows the poor mill workers son does his shopping at Saks 5th Ave.

Why pay less when you can show the world you are a pompous disingenous twit?

[azhenfud]

Well dang! there goes Santa's Clause.

This is a very embarrasing event for Edwards, who claims to be in touch with "the people":

• PS3 is now the High-End console, considered way too expensive by most people (over 600 bucks I believe). The poor man's 'next gen console' is the Nintendo Wii. So this is a "luxury item" in the eyes of many.
• John didn;t even call himself, or make an effort to get it. He expressed a desire, and some lackey went out to get him one. Yeah, he's in touch.
• His name was thrown around at the store as a means of influence to try and get one ahead of the fanboy line....Meanwhile, outside, rabid fans are camping out overnight for the nerdly claim to fame to be the "first" to have one.
• Last night his organization put out a very agressive statement saying that WalMart made the whole thing up, and how low they have sunk to defend their evil ways. Now, we find that staement was false.

  All-in-all, Edwards looks like an idiot in this.

"If a 6-year-old can figure it out, America can definitely figure this out," Edwards said.

If a 6 year old can figure it out, it brainwashing...

[dforest]

A little different than the Jesse Jackson shake down. This one works by saying "make a Playstation 3 available to me and I will still badmouth you"

[RGSpincich]

My wife, Elizabeth, wanted to get a Playstation3 for my young children.

Will this a$$bite ever learn how to talk. It's for your kids, stupid. Acts like he's in a courtroom 24/7.

[RGSpincich]

In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart. "If a 6-year-old can figure it out, America can definitely figure this out," Edwards said.

This fifty something year old can figure out that Edwards has a six year old snob kid.

[TankerKC]

In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart.

OMG! John...get Jack out of that school. He can't be educated with riff-raff.

[moonman]

He is a 'former' Senator. Who, what and why a 'staff'? What volunteer(s)? As a lawyer, he wouldn't use the word 'staff' if the persons were 'employees' of his law firm. Do these 'staff' people and 'volunteers' get paid health care from Edwards? Maybe that is why he refers them as being 'staff'. NO (or litttle) PAY OR BENEFITS!

[Doohickey]

In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart.

Not everyone can afford to shop at the exclusive boutiques your family no doubt frequents.

And incidentally, do the same Wal-Mart press gangs that force people to work there and force them to be gay, also force them to make sneakers?

[Sloth]

As I said on the other thread:

In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart. "If a 6-year-old can figure it out, America can definitely figure this out," Edwards said.

So, the filthy rich kid ridicules his classmate for getting his clothes at Wal-mart, and his dad not only applauds this snobbery but trumpets it to the press. The egalitarian spirit of the Democratic Party shines again.

AR/DEM/GAZ Article by Laura Stevens quote:

"Charles Healy got an offer he couldn't refuse.

The 19-year-old showed up outside the Best Buy in west Little Rock at 2 pm Wednesday, braved a cold, rainy and windy night and was first in line to purchase the highly anticipated Sony PlayStation 3.

Thursday morning at 9 o'clock, Healy, A University of Central Arkansas freshman, was offered a $1,000 for his prized place in line.

He sold.

"It was a nasty line," said Learrix Green, 26, who bought the No. 1 spot with his employer's money after seeing the 36 hopefuls in front of him. Store management had enticingly left the number of the machines vague, saying only that "a minimum of 26" would be available.

Green said that, in addition, he was receiving $1,000 from his boss to wait until this morning at 8 and purchase the unit for his employer's children....(snip)..

And former first-place-holder Healy stay on and was paid another $200 to hold someone else's place in line until about 6 p.m.

snip...

LOL..sw

I think the important question is what his 6 year old thinks of Nuclear weapons and nuclear war.

In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart.

"If a 6-year-old can figure it out, America can definitely figure this out," Edwards said.

I call B.S. on this ridiculous fish story.

And leave it to a slip-and-fall, class action trial shyster to concoct a tale that brags about his young child acting like an arrogant, elitist prick.

[Stultis]

Good for Wal-mart in releasing this information!

The Republican Party should contract with Wal-mart for lessons on playing political hard ball.

[Freee-dame]

"While the rest of America's working families are waiting patiently in line, Sen. Edwards wants to cut to the front," the Wal-Mart statement said.

If only pubbies beginning with President Bush would learn to fight back immediately....
