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.
So how much time do you think he spends with hairtstylists? I mean getting an expensive haircut doesn't require that much more time than a cheap haircut. Also, what did you think when Anne Coulter called him a faggot? Or when Bush and the GOP tried to pass a law banning gay marriage? Wouldn't that be more detrimental to gays than Edwards not feeling comfortable about gays (note he didn't say anything about gay rights)?
