59. It's real simple.
Conservatives have a cartoonish idea about what constitutes liberal ethics, and they believe that we share their slavish devotion to cult figures.

Hence, conservatives believe that not only do we think, en masse, that John Edwards is not permitted to hire the best professionals to perform certain tasks because that'd make him seem out of touch with the common man (as if we all loathed FDR for his wealth... but never mind that); we'll also abandon Edwards because we're shocked, shocked, to learn that Edwards is not poor.

In short, conservatives think we're even more foolish than they are.
