John Edwards Tries to Learn About Poverty: Takes Job Peddling Crack.

John Edwards announced today his next step in understanding poverty. Previously, he took time between runs at the presidency to work at a Hedge Fund.
“Asked if he had to join a hedge fund to learn about financial markets, Edwards replied, “How else would I have done it?” ”
That’s the type of man John Edwards is. The type of man who gets his hands dirty. That’s why his next step is to jump in and understand how difficult it is for young men of color to make a living.
Said Edwards, “When I went to work for Fortress Investment Group I was hoping to understand the roots of poverty. Unfortunately, the only thing I discovered is that nobody wanted to join me at lunch getting a haircut (something about it being the cost of a car note, whatever that is) and nobody in the next limo ever seemed to have any Grey Poupon. I blame the Bush economy and the Iraq war’s disastrous effects on our economy.”
John Edwards will be standing on street corners hawking his wares. If all goes well, he’ll not only make money, but make more valuable inroads into today’s celebrity community.

  1. I think that photo’s been photoshopped!
    That hair looks like a ROTC buzz ($3, you sweep). That photo has been altered somehow, but I can’t spot anything else wrong.
    Ah, yes: Edwards doesn’t have his hand in anyone’s pocket. There must have been an ambulance passing by, and the nimble photographer caught him just as his transformation began.

  2. John Edwards’ hedge fund job to learn about financial markets and poverty is perfectly legitimate. Just like his building a 28,000 sq. ft. mansion, so he can learn about homelessness…
