Attention Wal-Mart Shoppers!
Funny, silly story! "A John Edwards volunteer staffer calls about a Playstation 3 at Wal-Mart... and doesn't buy it!" Is this what conservative blogs are left with these days? Man, things are really bad for the pubbies! Hey, John — order all your disposable technology from Amazon: there's no tax and shipping is free for purchases over $25! And best of all, no one has to go to Wal-Mart!
From the article: From Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., company spokesman David Tovar said the Edwards staff member left a voicemail at the Raleigh store and identified himself as an Edwards staff member... Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar wouldn't name the person who purportedly called on Edwards' behalf. A company statement accused Edwards of not wanting to wait his turn. "While the rest of America's working families are waiting patiently in line, Sen. Edwards wants to cut to the front," the Wal-Mart statement said. After Wal-Mart this summer hired Edelman executive Leslie Dach as its public relations director and put him on the company's executive team, analysts said the retailer would likely become more aggressive toward its critics.
Ha, exactly. Clearly, all this smacks of PR department propaganda. C'mon guys — I know you want to, but don't fall for this BS from Wal-Mart spin-doctors.
Steve: It wouldn't be the first time Teflon Johnnie got caught in a bald-faced lie and skated off scot-free, though.
How could've Edwards lied here? Some volunteer staff member decided to call Wal-Mart about a Playstation for John's kid. Sounds believable. And not that I think you'd ever stretch the truth regarding a Democratic presidential contender, Steve, but do you care to name the last bald-faced lie from which Mr. Edwards skated off scot-free? I forget...
Andy: Not everybody can afford a $150 pair of sneakers, John & Jack...
An aside: isn't it sad that even $150 sneakers are most likely made in China alongside the Wal-Mart cheapies? Look it up. American manufacturers hardly make any shoes. Let's hope we never have to provide our own basic material needs again since we're shutting down manufacturing at a head-spinning clip.
By the way, is there any way to know the quarterly (or yearly) number of Chinese goods that China-Mart sells to Americans who lost manufacturing jobs to Chinese outsourcing?
