A long long time ago.............................. Don McLean's seminal anthem rock song mostly formatted about that unforgettable day on a wintry North Dakota plain when Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Richie Valens perished when their silver plane crashed on the way to the next North Country gig instantly popped into my head yesterday when Breaking News came on. By the way, that was the "Day The Music Died". And that is exactly why that song connected with me instantly (I am a music critic as well), because this thing with John Edwards will result, for the next several years in furthering the same thing for the Democrats. We now have seen Bill Clinton, John Edwards and two governors from New York involved in the very things that the Bible Belt and the religious right and voters of significant faith are going to pull out that big brush and start to paint. Imagine the subliminal advertising that will be created when Bill gets up to speak at the convention. If I were not a journeymen freelance writer and hypothetically a major reporter I would ask at the next network interview with Obama if he knew anything about John Edwards alleged activities when he merrily tramped off to North Carolina as he sought Edwards' endorsement. While we are at it, did Obama know anything about this reported caper at any time. It is conceivable that John Edwards could have made it to Vice President or President. That is why it is imperative that the television media, newspapers and Townhall participants step up the questioning of both Presidential candidates and fill in the blanks especially concerning the many omitted subjects on Obama that were unethically separated thus ar from the information disseminated to voters. Why is Obama goldbricking in Honolulu when we have another, most treacherous war beginning, the housing crisis worsening and our problems as a nation becoming threatening and overbearing to our concerned and worried electorate? Would you not think that as a Presidential hopeful our government might want to brief him away from a sailboat ? Perhaps his Congressional committee might need him, having already vociferously complained about his in and out behavior. We cannot go to Honolulu or Sparta or even the Jersey Shore, because unlike Mr. Obama, we cannot afford to do this and would not leave our jobs if we were somewhat indispensable and requested by our boss to keep working. And now there is Edwards, the proverbial fly in the ointment and like my referenced classic rock song becoming the probable cause of a political party spinning off to a long hiatus when the can of worms opens.
