Never Trust An Accent

94 words.

I didn’t think it was still possible for me to be disappointed in elected officials… John Reid Edwards’ admission of an affair proves they can never be trusted.  I was actually somewhat impressed by the improvement in his rhetoric in the 2008 primaries.  I should never have fallen for that Southern Baptist-sounding* accent.

P.S.  Too Conservative wins the prize for the first post I saw in Virginia trying to link Obama to Edwards.  So, um, I guess the above rule about elected officials applies to partisans in general.
