Did Edwards Take A Swing At Guiliani?

[iamjoy]

here's the "gem" from the 60 Minutes interview:

"But, I think every single candidate for president, Republican and Democratic have lives, personal lives, that indicate something about what kind of human being they are. And I think it is a fair evaluation for America to engage in to look at what kind of human beings each of us are, and what kind of president we'd make."

My husband and I both thought the same thing, how Rudy Guiliani is on his third wife and his divorce from the second wife was so ugly. Of course, it could also be judgment against Bill Clinton, but then, the big dog isn't running, is he?

Here's a Democrat saying character matters. Even if it isn't a swipe at anyone in particular, it's interesting to add to the debate.

1. Edwards is saying: Fair game! Good for him. Of course, he appears

to have nothing to worry about on the character front.

2. Rudy and Newt and McCain and all the other RW sleazebag family valuers

that's right, I said family valuers!

3. That was a sneaky jab to Rudy's nose

4. I think that is overanalyzing. I doubt he was thinking about Rudy. n/t

5. I agree with you

He didn't have Rudy or anyone else inside of his head, except his wife's.

6. I thought of ol' newt the newt

when he said that cause I read on DU the other day that newt doesn't want "private lives discussed"..as if.

7. All this has to be ... awkward ... for Newt.

The parallels are inescapable: Newt divorced his wife while she was in hospital with cancer. This makes him look lower than dirt in comparison. The repukes will think twice about running him for VP now.

8. It's not just a swipe at Giuliani

I think one of Edwards' advantages is that he is the most "moral" (defined in evangelical terms) candidate out of the entire field.

9. Which is why he's just about the only one who can whup Fred Thompson

n/t

10. If Edwards didn't take a swing

he should have!
