 Hey, Look At Me, I'm Talkin' To Musharraf And You Ain't Americans are notoriously superficial. But John Edwards has gone over the fence with his form over substance shtick. Fine, you look something like a modern day Jack Kennedy. Whoopi! Yeah, we heard all about your wife dying of cancer. And why again are you still running for president as your wife slowly dies? Question: what is at the heart of this candidacy? Which brings us to the Musharraf telephone call. Upon the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan, what's Edwards' first thought? Obviously, it was "how do I spin this to help my campaign?" Second thought: give a shout out to President Musharraf and then brag to the people in Iowa how cool and presidential I am that I talked to Musharraf at a time of crisis. Everyone agrees Musharraf stole the last election in Pakistan through massive fraud. The Pakistani people hate him. But John Edwards finds the guy useful as a campaign prop. Very presidential John.
What is the overriding theme of the Edwards campaign? If one squawks like a duck president, one is a duck. Trail lawyers know how to posture and Edwards, seasoned veteran of the craft, excels at the pose. Makes me barf. 12/28/2007. Add Comment Permalink
