John Edwards, in an interview with beliefnet.com, played the Jesus card. He said, “I think that Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring the plight of those around us who are suffering and our focus on our own selfish short-term needs. I think he would be appalled, actually.”
Hmmm… yes. Edwards is worth at least $13 million (possibly up to $60 million) and has a 28,200 square foot house, which includes two garages and a 15,000 sq ft recreation building.
Edwards also said Jesus would be upset with “the country’s willingness to go to war ‘when it’s not necessary.'”
Edwards voted for the Iraq war. If Edwards is right, then somebody’s gonna burn: Edwards.
