So Elizabeth Edwards was on Larry King last week, doing her best to defend her cad of a husband – while, of course, pumping her book. At one point she maintained that despite his philandering, her husband still did a great thing by bringing up the issue of poverty on the campaign trail. But when the crypt-keeper asked her if her husband would take a DNA test to prove that Reille Hunter’s daughter isn’t his, Elizabeth replied that she had no idea. Finally, when King pushed again about the DNA test, she said, “I don’t need this.”

Now, first of all: I find hard it to believe that this DNA question never came up over breakfast at the Edwards’ home. But no matter – that`s not what boils my bacon. If John, as his wife claims, cares enough about poverty to make it a campaign issue, then why doesn’t he care about the poverty of a single baby? Even more, you’d think Elizabeth – so proud of her husband`s stance – would urge him to take the test, and be a father to a baby who probably needs cash for diapers – and in a few years, hair gel. I mean, the baby can’t hold a job yet – and Edwards is beyond loaded. If you’re going to talk about the despair of poverty, put your money where your big mouth is. (more…)

A lot has happened in fourteen days — since Friday, the 24th of April — when the wires started buzzing 24/7 about the “Swine Flu.”

Oh wait, my bad. Now it’s the much more politically correct, H1N1 (Dems can’t offend the porcine population, they might need Porky Pig or pro-choice Miss Piggy to vote in 2010 and 2012).

In the meanwhile, a lot of stories haven’t been covered nearly enough outside of blogs and Fox News. Oddly, the vast majority of these stories seem to be things Obama God, Jr. wants to keep quiet. Here’s a not so exhaustive list: (more…)

Elizabeth Edwards has hit the chat show circuit to hawk her new memoir “Resilience.”  Her interview with Oprah airs Thursday.  Elizabeth has some important lessons to teach the young women of today.  The most important of these lessons is to be nothing like her, though I’m pretty sure that’s not the message she is trying to send.

Typically, when someone whines about his or her circumstances, I take a common sense approach and start by blaming the victim.  The fact is that bad things tend to happen to people who make bad, or at least dumb, decisions.  No money?  You’re probably not working hard enough.  Dead end job?  You probably didn’t get an education.  Creepy husband who cheats with a trampy party girl and humiliates you in front of the entire nation?  You probably chose to marry and stick with a creepy husband who would cheat with a trampy party girl and humiliate you in front of the entire nation.
