Edwards Throws Stones in his 40K sq ft Glass House

Obama is being called ugly by a frog, as pretty-boy John accuses Sen. Obama of living in Never-Never-Land.

Working-class hero John kept his secret hottie sequestered in a gated NC community as she entered her third trimester. His hard-earned ambulance-chasing monies garnered by tricking simple rural folk in juries is also tricking simple farmers and isolationists in Iowa, a state where farm animals outnumber people at least 50/1. Edwards tells ABC:
Edwards also detailed his conversation with Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf from Thursday in which he told that country's leader he needs to allow "independent international inspectors into Pakistan to determine the facts of what happened around the former prime minister's assassination.

Like Ramsey Clark? Or the numbnuts in the UN? Al Qaeda said they were going to kill Benazir Bhutto, has had a congratulatory message to the AQ perps from Zawahiri intercepted, and continues publicly to take credit for the murder. Perhaps John-boy, with his keen forensic skills, knows better? But this legal beagle & CSI wizard is also an economist:
the candidate argued that his aggressive populism is necessary for the country, a message that he summed up as: "We have to stop the corporate greed that's killing the middle class in America."

Mere facts like the stats demonstrating that the Middle Class this class-warfare agitpreppie weeps for is actually INCREASING its income and buying power don't faze the hair-and-makeup sub-prime mortgage hedge fund genius. Besides a half-million consulting fee, this financial guru invested $18 million in the Fortress Fund, which preys on poor "middle-class families" trying to keep their homes as ARMS permit Fortress to initiate foreclosure proceedings. About 50 Katrina victims in New Orleans are among Edwards' sub-prime victims---talk about a one-two hit topped by incredible hypocrisy. Of course, the socialistic MSM doesn't hammer Edwards as it would a Republican, using the "malefactor of great wealth" trope. John-boy with his sequestered wench [living down the block from the dude who claims to have knocked her up, with his wife & kids taking it all calmly]. No pressure from the MSM on that front either. But Rudy & other Repubs take the heat for multiple marriages.

Read on....
Edwards repeated his implicit criticism of Obama, saying any candidate who thinks he or she can invite corporate America to the table and achieve real results for Americans "is living in never-never land."

So he believes Barack Obama lives in never-never land?

"If he believes that, yes," Edwards said. "It's a little hard for me to tell sometimes based on the way he talks about this. I've heard him say he would give stakeholders a seat at the table. I assume he's talking about oil companies, drug companies and insurance companies."

Of course, Edwards himself has advocated the same thing, as Obama's people point out:
In response, the Obama campaign pointed to an interview Edwards gave to the liberal website MyDD.com in Feburary, where Edwards was asked if he'd bring into the healthcare debate "both corporations and labor and healthcare groups and doctors" and he responded "I think you try to bring everybody to the table. You want their participation, you want to make the system work for everybody."

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said, "Edwards is ramping up his attacks as the caucus draws near but his new rhetoric on 'not negotiating or compromising or working with the powerful interests' is a sharp u-turn from what was once a quite conciliatory view towards those same powerful interests."

Asked during the interview if he thought Obama or Clinton would be better at bringing about change were he not in the race, Edwards indicated his preference was Obama.

"One of them believes change is necessary and the system doesn't work, and the other defends the system," he said.

But Edwards actually demonstrates that he has a smidgeon of common sense and prudent wisdom---COMPARED TO HIS FELLOW DEMOCRATS, which is not really saying much:
Edwards also dismissed comments from another Democratic presidential hopeful, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who Friday called for Musharraf to step down from power. "Some of my Democratic opponents have misplaced faith in Musharraf," Richardson said. "Like the Bush administration, they cling to the misguided notion that Musharraf can be trusted as an ally to fight terrorism."

"I haven't misplaced faith in Musharraf," Edwards said. "Musharraf has lots of problems, as we all know. And we have to keep the pressure on him. But I also think that a serious presidential candidate in a moment of crisis like this needs to show calm … and not be thinking about the politics of this."

Richardson has busily been self-destructing as he abandons his foreign policy experience [I held a fund-raiser for him in DC at my home & he is/was level-headed and thoughtful in private---he seems to have veered sharply leftward for tactical reasons & now is perched with Kucinich in the other-worldly branch of Dem natsec & fonpol nutjobs].

Who's Your Daddy....?
His campaign bus, the Mainstreet Express, was met in Dubuque by a hometown favorite, the first lady of the state of Iowa, Mari Culver, who has endorsed Edwards.

Does that mean Gov. Chet Culver is secretly supporting Edwards? He wouldn't say.

"I'm not gonna touch that," he said laughing, as he walked off.

And Rielle sits untouched as her little boy/girl/twins gestate. Wonder who the baby will take after? Inquiring minds want to know...!
