Irony Alert of the Day

From the new book by Andrew Young, the assistant to former North Carolina senator John Edwards:

He allegedly once told Mr Young that he disliked appearing at state fairs where "fat rednecks try to shove food down my face. I know I'm the people's senator, but do I have to hang out with them?"

Don't put on too many airs, John. Your career and private life at this point would make a pretty good episode of The Jerry Springer Show, so how about showing a little contrition and humility? Despite your ambulance-chasing wealth, many of those rednecks you disparage live far more virtuous lives than you do.
