Dems in the ditch

John Edwards, Democratic ex-Senator from North Carolina, is on trial for a big complicated mess involving alleged misuse of finances, a mistress, their baby, his bodyguard buddy, and I don’t know who else, on what would have been his deceased wife Elizabeth’s 62nd birthday. Democrats sure do know how to weave a tangled web.

Today I heard a very unflattering story about outgoing U.S. Representative Barney Frank. He was disrespectful to an important man who I respect and admire greatly, and to whom I owe a great deal. Later, Frank attempted to apologize, only to end up being insulting to the man’s wife. For me it illustrated why I’m glad Barney Frank isn’t my Congressman (Jim McGovern is), and why I’m glad he isn’t running for re-election.
