Edwards Family Forced to Share Neighborhood With Normal American

Elizabeth Edwards is appalled by the existence of Monty Johnson, a "rabid, rabid Republican" who lives just across the street. The Edwards' palatial 28,000-square-foot estate, with indoor basketball court, indoor handball court, and indoor pool, sprawls upon 102 wooded acres. But Johnson's "Go Rudy Giuliani 2008" sign is only 100 feet from the entrance to the driveway.
Johnson is even said to have brandished a gun at trespassers, horrifying Elizabeth, who has never met the guy but has already resolved that she "wouldn't be nice to him."
She sniffs that his property is "slummy," and accuses him of refusing it to keep it up just to spite her snooty family. However, as Johnson explains:
I have to budget. I have to live within my means. I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place.
Johnson observes of Silky Pony, who made zillions fleecing doctors in dubious lawsuits:
I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people. But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me.
Good news for the Edwards clan: Johnson, whose family purchased the property before the Great Depression, has put it up for sale, citing excessive property taxes.
