Politics as Usual
By Sara Pentz

Today Democrat presidental nominee John Edwards told the world that politics was more important than his wife's health. He announced that his wife is battling incurable cancer. But that will not stop him from continuing his political campaigning. The press conference at which Edwards appeared with his wife ,was hastily called and there was much speculation that Edwards would end his campaigning.

With a kind of public crassness that dominates politics today, Edwards who is a doctor, announced his priorities to the public and the nation in this elaborate public display. At the same time, he said: "Any time, any place I need to be with Elizabeth I will be there - period."

Well, wouldn't that be all the time?
