If he gets $400 haircuts, you'd think Liz would, too. 

Anyone who says they support the troops but not the mission is a liar.

"If he gets $400 haircuts, you'd think Liz would, too."

Nahhhh, the wives usually do spend more on their hair than the husbands do, so why should the Edwards be any different?

Oh, that's funny!

Best comment so far!

I upchucked my morning coffee on that one!

No caption ... just an observation and confirmation ... IT WAS A PLANNED SET UP TO BOOST EDWARDS'S SLIP IN THE DEM POLLS!

Coulter should sue.  Start with MSNBC first, and then Edwards for using her name, image, and words on his campaign site.

No, really, Jay.  You

No, really, Jay.  You should try it some time.  I love dressing up in Elizabeth's clothes!

Elizabeth, I have an idea. Give Ann Coulter a call tomorrow on Hardball, will you?

"Ann can't be here rig

"Ann can't be here right now. She speaks to you through me. ... And I have to tell you right now – I didn't plan to talk about this – right now I feel her. I feel her presence. She's inside me, and she's talking to you. She's saying you need to get a life and grow a pair."

.....are you listening to me,

After Jay Leno says he has "THIS MUCH respect for the both of you", Senator and Mrs. Edwards cheerfully give him permission to sit down.

thanks

Thanks guys.  I appreciate the acknowledgement.  In honor of the failure of the shamnesty bill, allow me to say from the bottom of my heart...

Mucho gracias.

Is it just me or should Jerry Seinfeld...

The timing may or may not be right and that basically would be the deciding factor to my question.  Tell me, is it just me or is late night waiting for Jerry Seinfeld or what?  When Carson left Leno brought in a very low-brow journeyman's humor that gave him a great career but the polish and sophistication of The Tonight Show left with Johnny.  Maybe the timing is wrong, maybe right but with Conan coming in to take Leno's place Letterman's days are numbered and who better to bring the polish and sophistication of Carson back with replacing Letterman.  I admit it would be nicer to see him take The Tonight Show but...the ink has been dried on the Leno/O'Brien contract for some time. 

As for the caption:  "Come on, the truth is you and Coulter use the same salon for your hair and you're competing for the same fag, isn't this what this is really about?"  (Hint hint...Coulter did date Bill Maher in the past).

Shut up and blog! If you claim to be a conservative, please don't disgrace yourself and conservatism by thinking and arguing like a liberal. Go Rudy!

"John, I am sorry. I am not paying you $50,000 to be here. This is not a speech on poverty!"

What no Ann Coulter call for Johnny?

I thought it was the NBC tradition to ambush guests with call ins, but no Ann Coulter and after mommy dearest edwards showed up as johnny is not allowed to play alone.

That is one NBC show as of all their shows I will not be watching tonight.

John, this is new for you.  You're learning to cross your legs like a man.

Beware bumper stickers

In
another attack by the “bumper sticker slogan” (says demolib Edwardo)
the world was reminded how clueless the modern american liberal has
become. One bumper sticker was heard to scream “evangelical slogans and
radical right talking points”… it was condensed into the single word
“Allah”. The only silver lining here is that these bumper stickers are
making the election of a democrat less likely. Who can trust the
pandering self-blame in-denial democrat candidates to protect this
country?

Appearing on the Jay Leno sho

Appearing on the Jay Leno show, with Leno opening the interview with a loud "What the hell were you thinking?", Elizabeth Edwards and her diminutive husband, John, chuckled deviously and replied with mumbled "We're not ones to go around blowing our own trumpets," and sent the audience into raptures. An obvious echoing of actor Hugh Grant's questionable and illegal behavior and being found out. Yet somehow the politically questionable tactics John and Elizabeth Edwards employ did not taint them in the eyes of many, specifically their Liberal base. Suddenly appearing more manly to the young Liberal male demographic, John Edwards, the only by-proxy-to-his-wife Presidential candidate, found his campaign contributions went up 30%.

Leno:  "Let me get this

Leno:  "Let me get this straight.  One of you is a popular Democratic icon who has recently scored points on the campaign trail against a leading conservative critic.  And the other one is John Edwards.  Have I got that right?"

Leno: "The way I see it John, you're facing a dilema. On the one hand, people want you to be more in touch with the Democrat voters. On the other hand, you get criticized for channeling the dead. "

John: "Suit? Where? Who? I want a piece of the action! Sue the bastards for every penny they've got!"

Leno: "Whoa! Slow down there partner! I was talking about the suit you are wearing!"

John: "Sorry. How's my hair Elizabeth? Did it get mussed? Can we take a commercial break to redo my hair?"

Leno: "Later John. Anyway we're here to talk about that run in you had with that siren, Ann Coulter."

John: "Siren? Where? Anybody hurt? You don't have to be hurt to sue. You may be psychologically damaged and not know it. Sue the bastards! The voices of the dead cry out for justice!..."

Leno: "I think it's time to take that commercial break. And now a word from our sponsor, Breck shampoo."

John: "Breck. I love Breck. So silky. So smooth. Mmmm. "

Leno: "For goodness sakes, get a grip John."

John: "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Elizabeth! Help me! Jay's attacking me! Mommy!"
