I'm Calling Bullshit, and Getting a $400 Haircut

Quote For The Day
"I know I’m the people’s senator, but do I have to hang out with them?”- John Edwards, as reported by his flunky Andrew Young.

Okay, I feel like I have to step in and say something here. Yes, Edwards was my boy in the beginning; I'm sure Marley will gladly pop a hammy jumping up to remind you that I had starbursts in my eyes.

But in the new "well it must be true because a third source told some 7-11 clerk in a vacuum in Cleveland while a jet plane flew overhead" way of "reporting" as best exhibited in the absurdly loose Game Change, this "quote" is a BIT too "dead-on," isn't it? It fits a little TOO perfect into trying to find a way to frame Edwards as a faux-populist super-elitist, no? If you were trying to script framing Edwards this way, this would be the line you'd come up with. I mean, this would be like me "reporting" that someone once told me that George Bush said he was super excited to go see "Malcolm the Tenth." Come the fuck on.
