Remember him?
Well, he has taken flack for not checking with Bill Donohue about who he can hire for his campaign.
He also made the mistake of having a social conscious, and deciding to pursue his concerns via the Democrats.
Oh, yeah.
And it gets worse. You see he's lawyer, and unlike many lawyers he didn't focus on getting money for himself and corporations. Oh no, he helped people who were wronged from time to time. The villain!
So he entered American politics and committed a the supreme cardinal sin of politics, he was wealthy. Doesn't it make you sick.
As AMERICAblog ponders, what is deal with the stories about Edward's house?
Apparently, again, Edwards has money.
Apparently, he has a family.
Apparently he wants to house them.
And, apparently, as he has disposable cash, he wants the house for his wife and kids to be extra nice.
Where is the controversy?
Is there some illegal cash? Cash from the campaign? Cash under the table? Anything illegal? Anything immoral?
NO.
So, why is the work he is having done on his house being used as a slur by pundits?
Is it because he has been critical of uneven wealth distribution? Because who has the money is amazingly lopsidedly in favor of the rich ("And the rich get richer.").
Maybe.
If so, that is the weakest asinine argument...well one of them, in this campaign season.
So, tell me, is there another reason (a reasonable reason) for home renovation being a slur.
The only comfort I can take is that the slur is catching on as well as Bush's "homicide bomber".
Lame. Just, lame.
