Edwards and Trippi are exactly right.

Edwards e-mail: 'George Bush doesn't care about poor people'

==The subject line of a fundraising e-mail just sent out by the presidential campaign of Democrat John Edwards appears designed to get attention:==

==It's a take-off, of course, on the remark made by rapper Kanye West during a 2005 celebrity telethon for Hurricane Katrina victims when he said "George Bush doesn't care about black people." West's statement drew considerable criticism.

The e-mail, from Edwards adviser Joe Trippi, adds that:

John Edwards is launching the Road to One America Tour next week to shine a light on the 37 million Americans who live in poverty. If we don't stand up for them, who will? George Bush and his corporate buddies won't. The lobbyists in Washington won't. And since the media can't stop talking about Paris Hilton, you can bet they won't help shine a light on it.==
