Ghoulish Breck Girl Exploits Dead Son
Posted by Dave Blount at May 25, 2007 10:50 AM
Just how phony — and slimy — is John Edwards? Enough to creep out even John "Botched Joke" Kerry, who in comparison with the Breck Girl is a paragon of integrity.
Famed Democrat consultant Bob Shrum relates that Kerry had qualms about Silky Pony as a running mate and grew "even queasier" after Edwards shared with him a story about climbing onto a slab at the funeral home to hug his son Wade's body, promising the corpse he would do everything he could to make life better for people. The creepy part is that Edwards prefaced the tale by saying he had never told this to anyone else. According to Shrum:
Kerry was stunned, not moved, because, as he told me later, Edwards had recounted the exact story to him, almost in the exact same words, a year or two before — and with the same preface, that he'd never shared the memory with anyone else. Kerry said he found it chilling[…]
Apparently Edwards tells the story so often, he can't remember who he's already told it to.
On a tip from V the K.
