So I guess then -- by simple logic favored by the blow-dry, simpleton TV pundits -- that only a poor person can be serious about the class divisions in America. Someone should tell FDR, Bobby Kennedy, and John Edwards that they were all frauds. Simple logic. What b.s. We have a political system that allows only the rich to run for high office.

I still remember one of the female anchors being insulted when Dr. Dean said that Howard bought her a rhododendron for their anniversary and that was lovely. How much disdain and "judginess" do we all exhibit when we decide how other folks should spend their money! as a response to the Edwards’ house issue, some would say the Taj Mahal was overkill as a tribute to his love, but maybe he just had taste according to a different standard than the Edwards’.
