Edwards announces for Prez

I just noticed the blurb on cable news, John Edwards (trial lawyer-NC) was in the lower 9th in NewOrleans. He announced his candidacy for the ‘08 Democrat nomination.

The photo op was framed nicely. Edwards in his starched work shirt and blue jeans, toting a shovel full of dirt, smiling for the cameras as he dutifully pitches the dirt into a pile.

The shovel looked brand new. My guess is the handlers made a quick stop by Home Depot before the photo op.

The first thing that popped in my head was the Katrina photo of Spicoli, frantically trying to keep his fishing boat from sinking with the Red Cup.

Heh™. Priceless.
