from your CFZ post of article about Edwards <<In doing so, Edwards admitted he was seduced by his own success and the lavish attention and praise that came with his meteoric rise from his roots in Raleigh as a successful but relatively unknown personal injury attorney. Just two years after his Senate victory, he was on Al Gore's short list for vice president. After losing his own bid for the Democratic nomination a few years later, he bounced back by winning a spot as John Kerry's running mate on the party's ticket. Running again last year, he entered the race as one of the three favorites on the Democratic side. "In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic," Edwards said in a confessional statement released Friday. "If you want to beat me up — feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself."( yeh beating up on himself for being caught??? And his wife in battle for her life in a war with Cancer at that. Plus, again the reeking hypocrisy of these runaway ego trips--max>> Kurt Vonnegut,jr, in writing and live on the Imus show in 2004 "All world leaders, including the President of the U.S.A., are psychopaths, its a job requirement" Arthur Silber June,2008 speaking of McCain,Obama and Hillary Clinton <<Reflect for just a moment about what it is they want to win so desperately. Each of these three persons wants to be the most powerful ruler in the world. Given the nature of the weapons that will be at their disposal, they want to be the most powerful ruler in all of history, with the power to fundamentally transform human history and perhaps even to end it in significant part. Even if you believed that you acted righteously, with justice and truth on your side (let us set aside for the moment how one can believe that the power to murder millions of innocent people can ever be thought to be right or just, although I do not believe such considerations should ever be set aside), would you want power of that kind? If you would, I hope never to meet you. For any person who actively seeks the power of life and death over just one other human being, let alone millions of people, is deeply, irrevocably damaged in psychological terms. If we use the term "normal" to designate those goals and motives that can generally be described as supportive of individual life and happiness, no one who wants to be president of the United States is remotely close to normal. When you consider the years of relentless, soul-destroying ambition that are required to approach the office of president, together with the indefensible compromises, the endless lies, and the constant exercise of power over others in less extreme forms, anyone who deeply desires to be president verges on a constant state of insanity.>>
