EDWARDS: WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING?

I knew John Edwards was only in it for himself when he failed to
support medical marijuana, even with his wife undergoing treatment
for terminal cancer ("The Undoing of John Edwards" 5/15/09). But
Edwards reached full weasel status for me when asked about marijuana
decriminalization during a debate in October 2007. He opposed it
"Because I think it sends the wrong signal to young people, and I
think the president of the United States has the responsibility to
ensure that we're sending the right signals to young people."

Edwards spoke these words while concealing his marital infidelity
from supporters and the nation he sought to lead. Talk about wrong signals!
