Quote of the Day
“Those men who dragged James Byrd behind that truck in Texas – they deserve the death penalty. And I think there are some crimes that deserve the ultimate penalty.”
– John Edwards, justifying his support for the death penalty (John Kerry has voted against the death penalty for terrorists.)
Couldn’t Edwards’ line be used much more effectively by President Bush in a debate with Kerry? It’s a fourfer. It’ll remind voters that Bush was a governor, whereas Kerry is a senator. It’ll remind voters that Bush is from Texas and Kerry is from Massachusetts. It’ll inform voters that Kerry is a liberal who voter against the death penalty for terrorists. And it’ll allow Bush to pander to African-Americans and soccer moms by reminding them that he put James Byrd’s racist murderers to death when he was governor.
