I was shocked today when Wolfie actually called him on this today. Silky seemed take aback too. Tried his tryin to shut me up thing again. Wolf said no, they just want to know if you’re giving the money back. Nobody is tryig to shut you up.
I should just look for a clip to put in.

I loathe the way this guy talks out of the side of his mouth, he must think he’s a Cagneyesque ganster. Oh, yeah, hes a lawyer - same thing.

I like how he included ‘I’m among the richest.’ I’d like for him, or ANY candidate to define how much one has to make to be in the top 50/30/20/10 % income brackets. That would be an eye opener for us regular folks, no?

Is there a difference between earning money for writing a book and taking campaign donations? Just wondering.

And by the way, the use of the term “ambulance chaser” infers an attorney that prosecutes frivilous personal injury lawsuits. Reference one.

Is this ambulance chaser going to return the $800,000?

Yeah, I wonder if he’ll pony-up.

"John Edwards, who yesterday demanded Democratic candidates return any campaign donations from Rupert Murdoch and News Corp., himself earned at least $800,000 for a book published by one of the media mogul's companies," says Charles Hurt in today's NY Post Is this ambulance chaser going to return the $800,000?

I hope we get an opportunity to visit at length, maybe some evening on an appropriate thread that is sliding into the vault.

“the rich need to give back”…

Very true, and they should voluntarily give all that they WANT to give back.

Now that was snarky. When we have a spell check here then you can bag on people like me who misspell when we’re in a hurry.

It was painful listening to Edwards talk with Combs. The guy just drips arrogance. However, I think he’s the least of all evils coming out of the Dhemocrat party.

Fred, deliver us.

Silky (one trick) Pony reveals his true character.

TunaTalon on August 3, 2007 at 10:07 AM

Ahh, I think you’ve inspired Silky’s campaign slogan:

Two Americas…One Trick.

O ye generation of VIPERS, Oh ye Hippocrates!
mountainmanbob on August 3, 2007 at 10:25 AM

Uh…videos are blocked at work, so this may be correct, but what does Hippocrates (Greek Physician, 460 BC) have to do with this thread? Unless Pony was talking about medical malpractice?

The biggest problem with Silky’s train of thought is that it doesn’t have a caboose.

He forgot to let Mrs. Edwards speak for him. He advanced his own dumb intiative without consulting her. It would have made an interesting presidency with Elizabeth as his mouthpiece. He couldn’t trust himself.

“The biggest portion of the economic growth is among the highly educated.”

Which explains the low unemployment figures right?

I think it’s time for Silky to spur economic growth and get himself another haircut.

He’s dead and stnking with this flob. No one will even consider him for VP this time. He just proved how unqualified for anything he is but to be a chief ambilance chaser.

“The time has come for Democrats to stop pretending to be friends with the very people who demonize the Democratic Party,” Edwards said.
There is SO much irony in this quote, is there not?

RushBaby on August 3, 2007 at 10:11 AM

I guess we need to start being nicer to Pony, or else he’s not going to be our friend (or at least pretend to be).

It would all be sooooooo laughable if not for the fact that this loon is actually being put out there by the DNC as a legitimate candidate; not to mention that millions of people will actually vote for him.
