Edwards' political obituary
RIP, John Edwards' political ambitions, respectfully compiled by Rich Lowry at NRO:

When he hit other candidates for taking donations from Rupert Murdoch's media holdings, wasn't it inevitable that it would turn out he had taken $800,000 from Murdoch's HarperCollins for a coffee-table book?

Or when he attacked subprime lenders for foreclosing on victims of Hurricane Katrina, he would have $16 million -- half of his net worth -- invested in Fortress while it was foreclosing on a couple dozen homes in New Orleans?

Most of us uphold ideals that we can't meet, but liberal populism shouldn't be such an impossible standard. The late Minnesota Sen. Paul Wellstone, a liberal populist to his core, never had such embarrassments. The former North Carolina senator is experiencing a kind of toxic shock from his synthetic political persona.

Read the rest at the above link. Lowry didn't even get around to mention the hiring/firing of radical feminist bloggers, or his shameless use of his wife as an unassailable attack dog, or the details of his biggest baloney lawsuits, etc. No doubt a bandwidth limit encroached . . .

In lieu of flowers, donations should be made to The Hair Club for Men®. The only remaining problem for the Edwards campaign is: "How do you bury an empty suit?"
