Oct. 6, 2004 Do you remember those talking dolls from the 60's and 70's? Chatty Cathy, or whatever? I think there were several versions. My sister had one and it drove me nuts (some still say that is my current condition). Be that as it may...that's what Little John Edwards reminded me of last night. What I wanted to know is: Where was the string? After half way through the debate with Dick Cheney he ran out of talking points and kept going over the same ground again, and again, and again, and...you get the point? (Only those who live in West Palm Beach, or yes I dare say it, Rio Linda, and some other highly Democratic areas stay after class and I'll explain) Anyway, John Edwards sounded like he got the record in his back stuck. Not that I didn't miss how much he looks like a doll. Hey Dan Rather, hey Michael Moore, did you notice how much Johnny Edwards looks like Dan Quayle? No? Look again. Hmmm, I guess nobody checked. Can Little Johnny Edwards spell potato? Sorry, I gave it away. Oh well! Mr. Cheney on the otherhand had answers. He said he'd only just met John Edwards that night. Now I know the press tried to make excuses saying he met with only Republicans there in the Senate on Tuesday. Well, of course he met with Republicans. But, as he said, he's President Pro Tem of the Senate. It's part of his job and he has to be available to break tie votes. John Edwards could have introduced himself at any time and I'm sure there were times Mr. Cheney would have seen him if he'd been there. The President Pro Tem's chair, and the Speakers chair are right behind the podium in the chamber. So what should we do about John Edwards? Well, if I were John Kerry I'd pack him up in his original box and get a refund at the store, or send him back to the manufacturer. He's obviously defective. ------------ About the author: Lee Zelhart is a proud graduate of McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois and the father of two teens (one of which will be getting married in the next couple of years, maybe sometime in 2006) and the author of The Ghost of the Cavalier due out in 2005.
