In his new memoir, "No Excuses: Concessions of a Serial Campaigner," [Robert Shrum, the veteran Democratic strategist,] recalls asking Edwards at the outset of that campaign, "What is your position, Mr. Edwards, on gay rights?"
"I'm not comfortable around those people," Edwards replied, according to Shrum. He writes that the candidate's wife, Elizabeth, told him: "John, you know that's wrong."
Funny. You would think someone who spends as much time around hairstylists as Edwards does would be very comfortable around homosexuals.
