Larry O'Donnell can freakin' bite me.
Isn't this special - O'Donnell declares John Edwards a 'loser' and pretty much demands that he stop his run for the White House in order to... I dunno... please Larry O'Donnell?
John Edwards is a loser. He has won exactly two elections in his life and lost 31. Only one of his wins and all of his losses were in presidential primaries and caucuses. He remains perfectly positioned to continue to lose with a Kucinich-like consistency. Nothing but egomania keeps Edwards in the race now. All presidential candidates are egomaniacs but some of them have party status worth preserving that forces them to drop out when they hit the wall. A loser like Edwards has no status or dignity to lose. Campaigning and losing is his life. So, he will continue his simple-minded, losing campaign and deny Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton the one-on-one contest they deserve.
If John Edwards stays in the race, he might, in the end, become nothing other than the Southern white man who stood in the way of the black man. And for that, he would deserve a lifetime of liberal condemnation.
Okay, you African Americans. When did you guys meet in private and decide that White Rich Guy Larry O'Donnell was your new spokesperson, and why didn't you let me know?
O'Donnell has, with that post, done one of two things. Either a) shown once and for all the sense of entitlement that goes with being a member of the Washington political/media complex, or b) just dropped the absolute Mother of all cases of White Liberal Guilt of all time.
Hell, maybe both.
