The more I think about last night’s debate the more stuff comes back to me and the more I despise that smarmy little weasel.
Before last night I figured Edwards was essentially harmless, an attractive, basically empty-headed fellow picked because he was a southerner with good hair and we all know how addicted the Democratic Party is to the Clinton myth. Now I’ve seen the trial lawyer in him come out. The willingness to sacrifice the greater good for personal gain. The willingness to stoop as low as needed to get to a goal.
Most of this visceral disgust stems from his comments regarding Dick Cheney’s daughter. If any son of a bitch sat across the table from me and brought my family into a debate in any way – even positively – I’d wring his chickenshit neck.
Folks, families are off limits. Especially when that grinning jackass evades a question by outing Cheney’s daughter. She’s not ashamed, the VP has mentioned it himself many times but that’s a decision for the Cheney family to make, not some goddamned useless lawyer pretending to be a candidate for Vice President of the United States. That’s just damned bad form.
What a slimeball.
