Slog - Comments on Re: Edwards vs. Clinton's Coat http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/re_edwards_vs_clintons_coat Here's Politico's Roger Simon (linked by Eli below) on Edwards's comment about Clinton's jacket: Write this down, guys: Attack her policies, attack her past votes, attack her personality if you want to, but don’t attack what she is wearing. It looks sexist and cheap. But we awarded points to Edwards for his video, in which he played the song “Hair” -- a reference to the extremely expensive haircuts he charged to his campaign -- and showed pictures of the poor in America with the ending frame: “What really matters?” It was a nice attack on the carping press who concentrate...

What a farce.

Or am I thinking of somebody else?

I don't think that ECB would be so forgiving.

And what is scarier than one of those Democrats getting in? A Republican getting elected.

Talk about picking the lesser of two evils yet again.

Kinda like John Kerry's botched that joke right before the last election.

Coincidence? Methinks not...

If this was any other Democrat even, ECB would've said "Oh it's sexist! Play fair!" but since it is Edwards, it's just a bad joke. And if anyone else used that defense "It was just a bad joke, sorry," I doubt ECB would let it end there.

Also, ECB, you are getting the Dems confused. Biden said he likes Kucinich's wife, not Gravel.

I think it makes him more of a gay boy. "Girlfriend, I don't know about that jacket, bitch pleazza" (snap)

Please make a note of it.

This was well put.

A Republican is a quick trip to the destruction of the Republic, a Democrat gets us to the same place, it is just the scenic Sunday afternoon drive version of the fall.

ENJOY!!!!

Why won't Gore run? Hell, at this point I am all for repealing the 22nd amendment and figuring out how to bring FDR back to life. (I am not if that last part is just me being smart assed or serious)
