Excerpt
Like Bill Clinton and Jesse Jackson before him, Mr. Edwards nearly always runs late while campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination. He routinely begins events more than 45 minutes or even an hour past the scheduled starting time, keeping dozens or, lately, hundreds of people in jam-packed rooms awaiting his entrance.
Now everyone knows that John Edwards is one of the few politicians that "gets it". Despite being a billionaire, he feels the pain of the "other" America; the one not populated by billionaires.
He would never keep the hard working, generous, American people waiting for him, he's got too much respect for other people's time.
And just because he spends more money on hair care products in a month than the average American eats on, doesn't mean he doesn't have compassion for people who don't have health care.
And just because he lives in a 28,000 square foot house, doesn't mean he can't feel compassion for all those squatters who have to squeeze into a 3,000 square footer.
If I were his campaign, I'd sue the Times.
