Soul Man?
Posted by: Matt Lewis at 3:11 PM


Is reverse racism/sexism keeping John Edwards down in the Democrat Party?

According to this article, Elizabeth Edwards thinks her husband gets less PR because he's a white man:

"... We can't make John black, we can't make him a woman. Those things get you a lot of press, worth a certain amount of fundraising dollars. Now it's nice to get on the news, but not the be all and end all."

Is she implying that Obama and Hillary are ahead of Edwards in the polls because they are minorities?

Now just imagine if a GOP spouse (say, Ann Romney, Jeri Thompson or Judith Giuliani) said this ...

Perhaps Mr. Edwards should rent this old movie ...

YOU COULD HATE ALL CATHOLICS, MULSLIMS, PROTESTANTS, AND BAPTIST. THAT WOULD'NT MAKE YOU A RACIST, BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL RELIGIONS...NOT RACES.

THE TERM "ISLAMOFACISM" IS NOT DIRECTED AT ALL MUSLIMS. IT IS DIRECTED AT ALL MULSLIMS WHO WILL PHYSICALLY FORCE, BY VIOLENT THREATS OR ACTIONS (FACISM), ISLAM ON BELIEVERS AND NON-BELIEVERS ALIKE.

THEREFORE, IT IS THE BELIEF OF ALL RATIONAL PEOPLE (CONSERVATIVES) THAT YOU CAN BE MUSLIM, EVEN A DEVOUT MUSLIM INTENT ON SPREADING THE MESSAGE OF MOHAMMED, WITHOUT BEING AN ISLAMOFACIST.

Sleeping with the enemy
Mrs. Edwards is obviously John's most ardent supporter, but she is not only talking people out of supporting him for president, she is talking the other candidates out of giving him a second VP nod. Looks like he will have to go back to lawyering.

Actually, you could...
Make him a woman, that is. Sure, it takes a few years and some very painful operations, but as some have noted above, John's not to far from acting the part already (although he DID break his wife's rib in bed...)

If Edwards thinks that Obama and Hillary are getting all the press for being black and female, respectively, just think how gaga the nutroots would go over a transgender candidate! Why, all the free press would practically pay for the surgeries outright...

Pays more for his hair than most women.
" we can't make him a woman"

Coulda fooled me.
Guy spends more time at the hair dresser's and pays more for his hair than any woman I've known

His wife
Said he isn't geting play for being male, not the right. Besides, isn't this what the left has pushed for? It's just affirmative action, Mrs. Edwards and the Breckgirl need to live with monster they helped create. Actually I think he doesn't get as much traction because he doesn't generate the excitement that Obama and the Red Queen do. They all have the same warmed over, failed socialist views, there is no difference in any of them.

John Boy
he's not black, but he is a lot more feminine than Hillary will ever be. Don't give up on the ambulance chaser so quick, Liz. Have him start attending NOW meetings and going to the Dress Barn. I'm sure he already has more lotions and hairspray than Elizabeth as it is.

Ron Reagan to Gary Condit
Four Degrees of Separation between a president's son from California(and former governor) and a former philandering congressman from California linked by the current governator of California.


Ron Reagan/Rae Dawn Chong(Soul Man) to Rae Dawn Chong/Arnold Schwarzennegar(Commando) to Arnold Schwarzennegar/George Clooney(Batman & Robin) to George Clooney/Gary Condit(Return of the Killer Tomatoes).

Wow!!! This is loads of fun.
