Edwards Joins Bush's 'Social Security Crisis' Bandwagon


If politics gets any stranger, I may have to take a very long nap. When the news of the day on the Democratic side of presidential politics makes you want to tear your liberal hair out, you have a big problem. First it was Obama who used the Republican narrative about an alleged Social Security crisis. (There is no crisis!) Now Edwards has joined him. And the news of the day is that John Edwards and Fred Thompson are on the same page and in the same screaming headline.

What the f*ck is wrong with John Edwards and Barack Obama? I know what's wrong with Fred Thompson. He's a Republican.
