John Edwards Is An Asshole

John-Boy The Miserable Prick once again shows his true colors by feeding right into the worse case of Bush Derangement Syndrome seen in quite awhile:

On the September 27 edition of The Situation Room, at the end of an interview with Democratic presidential contender John Edwards on his decision to accept federal matching funds for his campaign, CNN reporter Candy Crowley asked if Edwards agreed with "a lot of people" who think Bush is the worst president ever. That's hardly a tough question, unless you worry about disagreeing publicly with Helen Thomas:

CROWLEY: Has George Bush accomplished anything in office that you approve of?

EDWARDS: That takes a little thinking.

He has raised the amount of money that America is contributing to the global fight on AIDS. He has talked -- in fact, he did it at the United Nations a few days ago -- talked about global poverty. I don't think he has done nearly enough, but he has raised it as a serious issue.

I think those are the two things that come to mind. I mean, I think he has been devastating to America and the world as a president, unprecedented. And I think it is very hard to find good things in a bad batch of bad things.

CROWLEY: A lot of people have said he's the worst president in history. Do you agree?

EDWARDS: He is certainly the worst president in my lifetime, and he could be the worst president in history.

John Edwards will never be President of the United States because he's a liar, a fraud and a hypocrite, but what this interview also proves is what a jerk he can be. Even the most ardent Edwards supporter should wonder why Edwards to take such a low blow at a man who won't be running for President. But this is just another example of the idiocy of the Edwards campaign and why they lag in 3rd place: they continue to underestimate the intelligence of the American voter. Yes, most Americans are wary of the Iraq war and they have every right to be, but the Edwards campaign wants us to forget that their guy voted to approve that same war. Yes, many Americans are aware that poverty continues to be a crisis in this country, but they don't want to hear about a supposed "War on Poverty" from a man who gets $400 haircuts while living in a $6million mansion. Then too, there's Edwards latest Hypocritical Oath: suddenly agreeing to take public campaign funds while trying to make it seen that it has nothing to do with his struggling campaign. Besides all that, how dare Edwards accuse GWB of being "worst president" without taking into account Jimmy Carter. Seriously now.
