Hypocrisy Part III: John Edwards reminds me of the very worst of politicians. They are epitomized by those are self serving but pretend to serve the people. Edwards certainly isn't the only one, but he is the most extreme. From $50,000 speeches on poverty, to $400 haircuts, this guy is the worst. This week's latest is just too bizarre to be true, but it is.

Mr. Edwards decided to launch his presidential campaign in the 9th ward of New Orleans, an area hardest hit by Katrina. It was symbolic for him for the poorest of the country and those that he said were not served by the Bush administration. He stood there with shovel in hand proclaiming that he would help those in need the most.

This week it was revealed that he has invested heavily in a company that does foreclosures. Not too uncommon to invest in a company such as this except that they specialize in foreclosures of properties in New Orleans that have suffered from Katrina. So the very people that this guy is saying that he is trying to serve he is helping to put out on the street, and profiting from it. Truly amazing. But he still continues to be a viable candidate and has the admiration of millions.
