This guy's still around!?

Just like that man in the H.P. Lovecraft story who keeps showing up at family gatherings because he doesn't know that he's dead, John Edwards continues to dazzle us with his complete lack of political acumen despite having been reduced to footnote status in American politics. Now he's calling out to his fans (yes, both of them) from his blog about the Alito Supreme Court nomination. "President Bush is making yet another divisive choice, nominating Judge Samuel Alito to the highest court in the land," Edwards has sanctimoniously noted.

Would you trust the opinion of a man who gave up his Senate seat in the midst of his first term to run for the White House with John Kerry? I didn't think so. Although, Edwards was sharp enough to note that Alito was a judge "in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia."

We're countin' on it, John-Boy. Thanks for stoppin' by.
