What's with the morans that run political campaigns?

Ok, not asking for recs, and you can bash me for ONE MORE Edwards affair diary.

But, what is starting to rise the bile in my throat, as I watch MY party get dragged through the pundit glee fest is,
everyone is taking potshots at John and Elizabeth, you can all decide (and it seems most have) how much you want to nail these people to the cross.

For my money, there IS one group here who deserves nothing but scorn, ridicule, and righteous anger.

And, that is, the campaign staff and managers of the Edwards campaign.

By now, everyone is finding out the background of Reille (nee Lisa Druck) who, evidently, was the model for the character in Jay McInerney's
novel, Story of My Life.

Now, I guess Ms. Druck had cleaned up her ways a bit from her days as a notorious NY party girl, still DID ANYONE FROM THE EDWARDS CAMPAIGN
DO A BACKGROUND CHECK ON HER?

After he picked her up in a bar? After she insinuated herself into the campaign, started traveling with the Edwards entourage?

If you don't have the Terror Alert Color Chart go to Infra-Red when you find out about her, you aren't qualified to be in charge of a mayoral campaign in Podunk Idaho.

Maybe they all trusted John so much, bought 110% his family values image, but STILL if you are a young attractive male candidate, and a woman with her background
suddenly is traveling on the plane, spending intimate time with the candidate. When his wife his home recovering from cancer?

What are these clowns thinking? Do they pay them for this kind of brilliance?

If there is a black-list for "don't ever hire these people again" add their names to the dip-dogs that thought Kerry was best "just to ignore" the Swift-Boat Vets",
don't dignify them with a response for two weeks of the media orgy that lost him the presidency.....

I remember reading in the NY Times that his national campaign manager wanted her the hell away from the campaign.

Exactly Al.

I thought Edwards was some brilliant southern lawyer, you and I BOTH would have seen Reille from ACROSS the BAR as "50 pounds of trouble in a 25 pound bag...."

Jesus, do they keep these politicians in a bubble?

Maybe they need to hire some roadies from a rock band to spot the groupies and keep them away from the candidate.

Maybe I can give them training classes, like they do the new GI's when they take them to foriegn ports?

It's  that easy to stroke the ego of these clowns (and, evidently, she was eventually stroking MORE then his ego....)

Still as pissed as I was the first day Edwards was "honest" about the affair.

Everyone involved in this "cover up" is a moran.


Welcome to a landslide WITH white working class, latinos, women and holding on sweeties!!!
