Factoid just picked up on by a whole other crowd of folks - John Edwards is a weasel!

Don’t ya just love it when reality comes along and thwacks the “reality-based” community upside the noggin like a finely turned, kiln dried piece of red oak?

Yes, I’m referring to the beloved clue-bat, my friends.

Latest dose? John Edwards’ hiring, then very rapid-yet-oh-so-expedient sacrifice, of, as one sage pundit put it, a “hysterical little hard-Left harpy of a blogmistress“.

So much for loyalty, standing on principle, and…well, all sorts of stuff - just as long as you keep the cooties from gettin on ya, or anything, it’s all good, right?

I can’t say that I agree with Ace on this, that “Edwards will be entirely undamaged by any of this” - maybe in the eyes of the MSM, who are completely comfortable with this sort of totally Machiavellian maneuvering - but the damage in the eyes of the nutroots is potential chum in the water. Unless of course, the Breck Grrrl comes up with something sufficiently fellatious enough to win back their hip, yet fickle, hearts. Or at least keep them from coming after him like some psycho-rabid dust bunny character from a videogame commercial.

Maybe he’ll get lucky, and Marcotte will really get run over by a bus, and he can “channel” her continued unwavering support and understanding for his crusade for free hair care products.

Barring that, stick a fork in him, he’s startin to look like the first candidate to be first candidate tossed from the wagon into the ditch beside the campaign trail, folks.

Oh, and by the way, now is the time when we do the “we told you so” dance. Welcome to the party. Nevermind the pointing and laughing. We’re laughing with you, not at you. So far as you know.
