Reply #92: Edwards' response to Bill Maher on this was classic [View All]

Yes, you're right about the right-winger need to call others sissies; that's part of why Rove had Novak slag Wilson for being girly man and having to rely on his wife find him a job.

Back to the point, however: when interviewed on Maher's show in '04, Maher poked fun at him by pointing out how journalists marginalize candidates and then asking Edwards how he liked being referred to as "the Breck Girl". Edwards smiled and said "I'm much prettier than the Breck Girl".

I'm so tired of partisan Clark supporters raging against Edwards. The tenor of it all from the very beginning of his candidacy smacked of the same scorched-earth ridicule of reactionaries, and it persists to this day.
