WORLD EXCLUSIVE: ELIZABETH EDWARDS SLAMS MATT DRUDGE FOR PICKING ON NINE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER!!!

WORLD EXCLUSIVE...MUST CREDIT ELECTION CENTRAL...

Elizabeth Edwards has blasted and mocked Matt Drudge for picking on the Edwards' nine-year-old daughter -- and Ms. Edwards even suggested Drudge has the intelligence and sophistication of a child, Election Central can reveal!

Her comment came in response to a Drudge item quoting a local newspaper account that suggested that the Edwards' nine-year-old child supported Hillary, not her father.

Election Central has learned that Elizabeth put a comment in the comments section of another Web site's post debunking the Drudge item.

Elizabeth claimed the daughter was joking and mocked Drudge as follows:

"It was Emma Claire, who pointed to a Hillary pin slyly and then, smiling pointed to her father. A nine-year old sense of humor -- you would have thought Matt Drudge would have been able to pick up on that."

1. wow, okay.

that's worth a screaming headline

[Nikki Stone1]

2. Picking on 9-year olds seems to be about his speed

Good ol' Sludge

[AspenRose]

3. Give him hell, Elizabeth.

I've had it with these vultures picking on candidate's kids.

[rodeodance]

4. a good mother!

[Missy Vixen]

5. Maybe Drudge should pick on someone his own size

Then again, I'm sure that's microscopic.

You go, Elizabeth Edwards.

6. Typical Matt Drudge. Rush Limbaugh called Chelsea a dog at 11.

They are all crap.

We know that, right?

[Forkboy]

7. And it took about 3 minutes for the Drudge link to get posted in GD-Politics.

8. Thank goodness nobody posted that crap drudge shit here on DU!

At least we have standards.

[ashling]

13. see post # 7

[endarkenment]

15. I forgot the sarcasm thing. nt.

[Beaverhausen]

17. LOL!!!

[jsamuel]

9. Drudge has no qualms about distorting even a 9 year old Democrat's words.

10. I know Elizabeth would make an outstanding First Lady.

Something we're not accustomed to. :eyes:

11. Hmm, that's a different report than earlier

That said only that the girl pointed at Hillary without mentioning she then quicky pointed at her father.

Good for Elizabeth for slamming Drudge. I don't remember if the Clintons went after the people who made vile statements like Limbaugh calling Chelsea the White House dog as vehemently as Elizabeth Edwards did, but obiously she's learned that you can't let the RW liars get away with this shit..

12. little ones are totally off limits

I'm sure that Emma Claire is far too wise to see this ruse and not see through the BS.

Kids are not tools nor fools.

[ashling]

14. Nor

tools for fools like Sludge.

[seashorelady]

20. This should be made perfectly clear to the media

that all of the candidates children are off limits period.

[firefox_fan]

16. Even if it were true... So what? Who cares what a 9 year old thinks?

[waiting for hope]

18. You have missed the point

entirely.....using their nine year old daughter to smear/mock and make light of the Edwards' campaign is vile and seriously lacking in any sense of decency. My oldest is six and I care very deeply about what he thinks. You apparently don't have any children.

[David Zephyr]

19. I wish she'd pointed out that Matt always has had a problem with girls.

Miss Drudge doesn't like women or girls at all. Just mommy figures like Jonah Goldberg's mother.

[eppur_se_muova]

21. Meanwhile, the Bu**sh** twins are OFF LIMITS, regardless of whatever

drunken sluttery they've gotten into? AND they're legally adults?
