As commentary this would have worked better with Obama but as comedy the choice was obvious.

Funny… the hand gesture I make after listening to a politician speak doesn’t involve an extended thumb, but instead a fist moving up and down. I’ve been told it more accurately represents the meaning conveyed.

He should probably change his message. It’s amazing what unemployment will do to ex politicians. Edwards has been campaigning for president since his first (only) senate win. I guess campaigning for 10 years or so, it’s hard to stop for him.

Who is dat feller with the purdy mauth and hair?

As for the secret thumbs up, you sit on it.

Funny in the rolling banner at the bottom of the screen-
Judge denies gay couples request to adopt a highway

The traveler got angry with the villagers when one of them attempted to take away his hairspray.

You must know it’s pretty bad for your campaign when you get spoofed on “The Onion!” I disagree it would have worked better with Obama or Clinton- people know them. Edwards is just a pathetic loser that nobody knows. Though it would probably have worked best with Kucinich or Paul.

Silkyism is upon us.. Join before it is too late!!!!!

The onion is not funny enough to care about.

I’ll have a full slab of hope and a side of change. And a scotch on the rocks.

Perhaps you missed this.

I might go to an Edwards rally if I thought I’d get to touch his hair. Silky!! :-)
