Victim? August 9, 2008
Posted by Brendan in Life in America, Politics.trackback
Boy, the last thing I want to do is take a shot at a terminally ill woman who buried her eldest son in 1996 but…
Elizabeth Edwards ceased to be a victim the moment she conspired with her husband to deceive voters, loyal campaign staffers, and the Democratic Party.
In all honesty, I could care less about the Democratic Party and anyone foolish enough to vote for John Edwards but the I really do feel sorry for the campaign workers.
Campaign staff are (usually) poorly paid; they sleep on floors in faraway places; they spend months away from their friends and families – and they serve their candidate with incredible loyalty and devotion. They deserve much better.
Elizabeth Edwards — no less than her husband — used these people and exploited their loyalty in one of the most selfish and manipulative acts that we’ve seen in American politics since… well, the Clintons.
Spare us the wounded wife drama and start apologizing, ma’am.
