    Spy Cam: It's (Distinctive Striped) Curtains for Edwards

    At first I was almost relieved to hear that the National Enquirer had finally coughed up some photos because I was starting to worry more about Mickey than Elizabeth; was he going to start marching door to door through America, sounding the luv child alarm? But, now that I've seen the "spy photo" and "distinctive striped curtain" for myself, well, here's what I learned for sure about the Edwards scandal today: The Javert of cette affaire would "also argue that an emotional, anecdote-led liberal approach to poverty inevitably tends toward the failed solution of simply sending poor people cash welfare, but that's another argument.'' Sure it is; incredibly, this obsession really is about welfare policy.
