The irony of defeat…
Edwards talks about poverty, stays silent on paternity
Former U.S. Sen. John Edwards took another tentative step into the public spotlight tonight, speaking at Brown University about extreme poverty around the world and urging Americans to get involved in what he called a “fundamental moral issue.”
Apparently no one in the Ivy League audience asked, “and why would you be troubled by any fundamental moral issues, Mr. Edwards?”
Or, as Jules put it,
The bigger question is why a university is giving this discredited third-string bounder a forum to hold forth on people’s moral obligations in the first place. Let him get a blog like the rest of us discredited third-string bounders.
Indeed!
