John Edwards is an interesting character in the Presidential race. Professor Bainbridge gets the right quote at his blog:
Edwards aide Amanda Marcotte wrote, in a posting to her personal blog, on "What if Mary had taken Plan B after the Lord filled her with his hot, white, sticky Holy Spirit?"The other Edwards blogger, Melissa McEwan, has come under fire for referring to Christian conservatives as “Christofascists” in her personal blog.
Thursday, the campaign issued a statement from Edwards saying that he had been personally offended by the remarks and that the bloggers "have both assured me that it was never their intention to malign anyone's faith, and I take them at their word."
Hmmm. As a lawyer, Edwards made millions of dollars being skeptical. However, after reading these quotes Edwards is sure that they weren't meant to be offensive? Hmmm.
Could Edwards please tell us if "hot, white, sticky Spirit" was supposed to be a respectful term? Was "Christofascists" supposed to mean "Christians who can get the trains to run on time"? Is Edwards really that dumb, or does he really think we are that dumb?

Yes, but Edwards's wife if selling a book (Saving Grace, we have a signed copy) meant to appeal to religious voters. Edwars needs to either admit he thinks religious voters are whackos or he needs to stand up for them when his staff writes this kind of stuff. Otherwise he's sending a very different message, namely "I never expected you to figure me out."
