That would be so Democratic business as usual to install the Edwards fox in the hen house that I can’t imagine Barak “Change” Obama would do it.

But then, as Fran Liebowitz once wrote: “No matter how cynical I get, I just can’t seem to keep up.”

Given this move by Obama, I think we can safely change his “the audacity of hope” to “the audacity of dope.”

It does worry me that John Edwards does not consider the “at least a third or we won’t represent you” crowd to be lobbyists or special interests. The media have called him on this on at least a few occasions, and his reasoning is rather weak.

You should know that the Clinton Administration — in an amazingly anti-consumer action surely inspired by trial lawyer lobbyists and leanings — opposed and defeated a legislative proposal that would have required lawyers in certain kinds of cases to inform clients of their right to negotiate the level of the contingency fee.

Don’t vote for him, but get him anyway, in a position the he (without apparent morals) is perfectly suited to screw over the maximum number of people? It’s be a right horror-show, it would.

Attorney General Edwards? I can’t decide if that would be a joke or a tragedy.
