Edwards Acknowledges Wal-Mart Gaffe

By MARCUS KABEL
AP Business Writer


Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said Thursday that a staff member for former Sen. John Edwards _ a vocal critic of the retailer _ asked his local Wal- Mart store for help in getting the potential 2008 presidential candidate a Sony PlayStation 3. Edwards said a volunteer did so by mistake.

Edwards told The Associated Press that the volunteer "feels terrible" about seeking the game unit at Wal-Mart a day after his boss criticized the company, saying it doesn't treat its employees fairly.

Let me see if I've got this correctly. Edwards' son wants a gameboy. His son doesn't work in the office, but his father does. His father must have spoken out loud about not being able to get one, or else no would be any the wiser. Am I on the right track so far?

Yeeeeaaah right! He had no idea...
