Reply #1: I frankly don't see how John Edwards can be as wise in Cabinet picks as

[saltpoint]

George W. Bush.

Edwards wouldn't even consider Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court, for example. He'd likely fall back on the old paradigm of choosing highly qualified nominees for the bench. A huge disappointment.

And a trial lawyer himself, you could expect an equally disappointing pick to run the justice department, and frankly there just isn't anybody out there with the creds of Alberto Gonzales. Again, Edwards would predictably and disappointingly choose the old school type of DoJ person -- qualified, experienced, fair-minded, just. The same ol' bullcrap, and a sharp regression from the pristine insights of the Bush administration.

I've also heard -- and this can't be confirmed of course -- that Edwards plans to use complete sentences -- in ENGLISH -- if he becomes president. Don't ask me to sit through a press conference with a U.S. president dishing out coherent, well-formed sentences in my native language. That's too much to ask.

Damn that John Edwards, anyway.
