Statesmen Need Not Apply



Vastleft has a say about the twilight zone that the Offical Legacy of the government has become, and what we're left with running for the Preznitcy.

NEW ORLEANS — John Edwards, the progressive Democratic candidate who made a populist, antipoverty message the centerpiece of his campaign, announced his exit from the presidential primary race on Wednesday, saying he was stepping aside “so that history can blaze its path.”


The smart, decent Statesmen have left the building, there being only so much you can do when the State has become a circus and the Preznitcy a job suited for ringmasters.

Just remember: the sense things make has not been, is not, and never will be the sensibility the salesmen sell.

Those of us who would keep the blaze of history from becoming a firestorm salute John Edwards' decision, but hope he's hanging around to help hose the flame.
