#1 However, it is our understanding that when he wrote those comments, Mr. Geraghty was "off his meds"

That's why he gets paid for his writing, and I don't. Wonderful!

#2 UPDATE from the WaPo (LRR) (emphasis added):

WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said Thursday he was personally offended by the provocative messages two of his campaign bloggers wrote criticizing the Catholic church, but he's not going to fire them. . . .

"I talked personally to the two women who were involved. They gave me their word they, under no circumstances, intended to denigrate any church or anybody's religion and offered their apologies for anything that indicated otherwise. I took them at their word," Edwards told reporters.

Edwards is either as dumb as a box of hair or he has worse PR judgment than Leona Helmsley. Vote accordingly.

#3 Edwards is either as dumb as a box of hair or he has worse PR judgment than Leona Helmsley.
Actually, both. His new 20,000sqft house, his inarticulate statements on just about everything, this embarrassment, and a half-dozen others are proof positive that John Edwards is an over-educated idiot.
