Sometimes, I really hope John Edwards can last until the convention; if not for anything else but for quotes like this
“While Senator Clinton and Senator Obama were hurling charges and countercharges at each other, I was thinking, ‘I’m John Edwards and I represent the grown-up wing of the Democratic Party.’”  Democrat John Edwards, in a conference call with reporters, discussing Monday night’s debate.
Bob Dole couldn’t be reached for comment.

The grown-up wind of the Democratic party consists of, maybe, Joe Lieberman and a few others we don’t really hear much from. Then again, it makes sense. Spoiled children make a racket, adults know how to shut the hell up.

“…and gosh darn it, people like me.”
Yeah, sounds just like Stuart.

If there’s a grown up wing of the Democratic party, it isn’t the left wing.

I’m guessing John Edwards finds himself thinking “I’m John Edwards” about 86,400 times a day.

I dunno, Crank — i think you got it right the first time. To the extent the Democratic Party has any grown-ups, they’re all a bunch of old farts.

…the grown up wing.
Imagine Edwards and Hillary squaring off in wrestling tights. Who gets the spanking?

Thanks Slt Lick, now I’m going to need a barrel of brain bleach to get rid of that image.

Yes, professional wrestling is a good metaphor for the Dems. John Edwards, preening, strutting around the ring, antagonizing the audience with his self-centeredness. The audience wishes he would go away, but he keeps coming back.
Hillary, the diabolical and cunning “brain”, dressed in a tight-fitting pantsuit that shows off her physical attributes of an 80-lb. butt, huge thighs, and memory-burning cankles. She uses her lower-half weapons to deadly effect on her opponents. The crowd boos at her, jeers at her, and she returns the negativity with her mask–the pouchy cheeks, the blonde-dyed highlighted coiff, the naturally dark eyebrows. She has an accomplice outside the ring who always accompanies her: Bubba. Bubba is the one that occasionally pulls the legs out from Hillary’s opponent when the ref isn’t looking. Unfair? Yes. Ethical? No. But this is political wrasslin’, and everything goes. Sometimes Bubba gets more attention than his main thigh-squeeze. But Hillary is fully capable of wrapping the head of her opponent, a young hopeful upstart, in her massive thighs and squeezing–it’s her submission hold. Sooner or later, the young upstart may “tap out” and submit to the inevitability of her victory.
After the victory, the Dark Mistress (her Thighness) surveys the arena and finds it wanting. Don’t worry; she has ultimate plans for the grungy crowd. She knows what is good for you. She will reveal her dark plans in due time.

I have a good freind who is a dead ringer for Edwards. Seriously. He’s got a Kentucky accent and not a Carolina accent, but other than that, they could be twins.
Thanks to you guys, every time I see him I think “Silky Pony”. It makes me laugh.
