Edwards throws in the towel, essentially crowning Johnny Ketchup as the Democratic nominee. One of our local newspapers over the weekend quoted Bush Jr. as saying (my reverse translation): "The Democrats have a very interesting and diverse group of candidates. For and against war in Iraq, for and against gay marriage, for and against [this and that and the other]... And all that is just one candidate!"
UPDATE: This story (via LGF) would be hilarious if it weren't so sad. The article has the original Bush quote, by the way:
The candidates are an interesting group with diverse opinions: for tax cuts and against them; for Nafta and against Nafta; for the Patriot Act and against the Patriot Act; in favor of liberating Iraq and opposed to it.
And that's just one senator from Massachusetts.
Also, the generally very reliable urban legend debunking site snopes.com refutes rumors that Johnny Heinz Kerry obtained his wartime decorations in a shady way. On the other hand, this article, if factual, makes one wonder whether Kerry's own post-Vietnam testimony may not be the 1247th classic case of Freudian "projection".
