"IGNORE THE CASE BEHIND THE CURTAIN"

Our boy John (Robin) Edwards slammed President Bush on how long it took to indict Ken Lay. He said:

"It took three long years to see Ken Lay handcuffed and indicted for what he did," the North Carolina senator said Saturday in the weekly Democratic radio address. "In November, middle-class families will be able to rest assured that John Kerry (news - web sites) will look out for their interests, restore corporate responsibility and put our economy back in line with our values."

I would like to know what Edwards thinks President Bush could have done to speed that up. Any interference by President Bush would surely have been seen by the left as an attempt to hide something and to railroad the case.

Interestingly, Edwards is best known from his trial lawyer days as the man who won the largest personal injury case in North Carolina history (netting him a tidy sum of money, BTW). The Valerie Lakey case took almost FOUR years to hit the courts, what was John Edwards doing? Why was he dragging his feet on this case? Was he trying to hide something or protect someone, maybe a large client perhaps? Or maybe these things just take a long time. Oh, wait, that can’t be true, at least not when it’s about a Republican…
