Hillary To Edwards: Let's Lose These Clowns

I'm paraphrasing ... liberally. But politicians really should watch those open microphones - it was Hillary and Edwards, who apparently is only for the little guy when it's convenient. Not surprisingly, Edwards comes off as the biggest schmuck, as if Hillary thinks he's serious at this point.

At the end of an NAACP Presidential Forum in Detroit in which fringe candidates Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich repeatedly upstaged the top two tiers, John Edwards approached Hillary Clinton at her podium and, perhaps forgetting that microphones were still on, can clearly be heard saying "we should think about at some point... maybe some time in the fall, we'll try to have a more serious debate with a smaller group of people."

Hillary agreed with Edwards, saying “We’ve got to cut the numbers of these, because they are just being trivialized.” Edwards responded “And they’re not serious. They’re not serious,” then walked away.  Hillary caught up to him to add "I think there was an effort by our campaign to do that, but it somehow got detoured," saying "We’ve gotta get back to it." While shaking Dennis Kucinich's hand, she added “our guys should talk.”

I assume the not serious attendees would be Kucinich, Biden, Dodd, Gravel and possibly Richardson. We'll just have to let Hillary and Edwards have their "guys" decide.

Bridal cake boy would really rather be on the stage alone. That way he would appear to be a real contender for the Dem nomination by comparison, when in fact he has zero chance. Back to your carbon-pumping mansion and your favorite beauty salon, sonny.

Can't we have a call-in number to vote the nimrods off the stage? Forget Edwards, but if I was Hillary, I wouldn't want to be on the stage with those idjits.
