Quote Of The Day

John Edwards is trying to clarify the reason he joined a hedge fund in 2005, saying that he joined the fund to learn about financial markets, their relationship to poverty and to make money, the AP reports. Edwards asked, "How else would I have done it?" A reporter suggested he could have taken a university course, and Edwards said, "That's true ... It was primarily to learn, but making money was a good thing, too."

I'll say it again: How do you parody these people? It's like trying to drown a fish.
