Charles Krauthammer pummels John Edwards on his promises of medical miracles if Kerry is elected, and calls Kerry on his lie about a federal "ban" on stem-cell research, among other things. Do read.
In my 25 years in Washington, I have never seen a more loathsome display of demagoguery. Hope is good. False hope is bad. Deliberately, for personal gain, raising false hope in the catastrophically afflicted is despicable.
...to exploit the desperate hopes of desperate people with the promise of Christ-like cures is beyond the pale.
There is no apologizing for Edwards's remark. It is too revealing. There is absolutely nothing the man will not say to get elected.
