IS THE JOHN EDWARDS CAMPAIGN REALLY “WHOLLY FUNDED by the trial lawyers”? That’s what John Kerry’s press secretary, Stephanie Cutter, is quoted as saying in the New York Times. And, since the Times story provides no contradictory information, and it’s the New York freakin’ Times, I guess it must be true, right?

Maybe I’ll go donate a buck to Edwards, just so that he’ll have gotten at least one dollar from somewhere else. Odd that it hasn’t happened before. . . .

UPDATE: Are all these people trial lawyers, too? And how does the Times know? Superior investigative journalism, I guess. . . .
