I Only Mean Swearing Off Money from Your Lobbyist Friends

While finding hypocrisy for which Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards deserves criticism is not exactly a daunting task, Alan K. Henderson has a well-stated thought about a recent expression of it:

John Edwards is telling a union crowd that he's anti-lobbyist? Isn't that like telling a crowd of children that you're anti-candy?

Indeed. Hillary Clinton deserves credit for refusing to kowtow to Mr. Edwards' populist demagoguery.
