John Edwards blames staff for shopping at Wal Mart Betsy's Page Mary Katharine Ham had a hilarious entry yesterday about how, despite all his criticisms of Wal-Mart, John Edwards was trying to skip ahead in line right here at my hometown Wal-Mart to buy a Sony Playstation 3. Wal-Mart had released a press notice about Edwards' hypocrisy. <<< Yesterday, a staff person for former Sen. Edwards contacted a Wal-Mart electronics manager in Raleigh, North Carolina to obtain a Sony PlayStation3 on behalf of the Senator's family. Later that night, Sen. Edwards reportedly re-told a homespun story to participants of a United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union-sponsored call about how his son had chided a fellow student for purchasing shoes at Wal-Mart. >>> So, today, John Edwards is blaming the servants, I mean staff volunteer, for this embarrassing foul-up. <<< Edwards, the Democrats' vice-presidential candidate in 2004, spoke Wednesday to supporters of union-backed WakeUpWalMart.com on a conference call launching the group's holiday season campaign to pressure Wal-Mart for better labor standards. In the call, he repeated a story about his son Jack disapproving of a classmate buying sneakers at Wal-Mart. "If a 6-year-old can figure it out, America can definitely figure this out," Edwards said. Previously, Edwards has appeared at WakeUpWalMart rallies. Edwards said the volunteer was "a young kid" unaware of what he called flawed Wal-Mart policies. He called the Wal-Mart statement an effort to divert attention from its own problems. >>> Perhaps Edwards should get his preternaturally political six-year old son to explain to the staff volunteer why getting a lower price for consumers is so very, very bad for America. betsyspage.blogspot.com townhall.com timesdaily.com
