The ugly head of liberal elitism raised up from the muck on Thursday, 16 Nov, when Senator John "I AIN'T WAITING" Edwards sent a flunky to, get this, WAL-MART, YES!, WAL-MART, for a Playstation 3. Now REGULAR Americans like you and I have to WAIT IN LINE to buy a PS3. Not so with the Liberal Elite. They send their flunkies to cut to the head of the line and get what they want. How nice.
Edwards acknowledges staff asked Wal-Mart for Playstation 3
Edwards, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, told The Associated Press that the volunteer "feels terrible" about seeking the game unit at Wal-Mart while his boss claims the retailer doesn't treat its employees fairly. LIBSPEAK TRANSLATION: IDIOT! YOU COULD CAUGHT!
"My wife, Elizabeth, wanted to get a Playstation3 for my young children. She mentioned it in front of one of my staff people. (Queen Elizabeth speaks, staff jumps!) That staff person mentioned it in front of a volunteer who said he would make an effort to get one. He was making an effort to go get one for himself," Edwards said. (AH! TWO WRONGS MAKE A RIGHT? Sounds like TYPICAL LIBERAL THINKING!)
Wal-Mart had noted in a news release Thursday that on the same day Edwards was criticizing the company in a conference call with union-backed activists, the volunteer staff member had asked a Raleigh, N.C., electronics department manager to obtain a PS3 for the ex-senator's family.
From Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark., company spokesman David Tovar said the Edwards staff member left a voicemail at the Raleigh store and identified himself as an Edwards staff member.
When the manager returned the call, the staff member again identified himself as working for Edwards, and Wal-Mart said it confirmed it with Edwards' office. The retailer issued a written statement Thursday accusing Edwards of not wanting to wait his turn. (GIVE THAT MANAGER A RAISE!)
"While the rest of America's working families are waiting patiently in line, Sen. Edwards wants to cut to the front," the Wal-Mart statement said.
That's how the liberal elite rules, doncha know?
