Word from one of the viable candidates on Stephen’s rejection:
In S.C., One Native Son Misses Another
By Jeff ZelenyCHERAW, S.C. – John Edwards, it seems, missed an item from the morning newspaper.
When a reporter asked for his reaction to the South Carolina Democratic Party’s decision to deny Stephen Colbert’s application to be on the primary ballot here, a puzzled look appeared on Mr. Edwards’s face.
“Is that true?” Mr. Edwards asked. “I hadn’t heard that.”
When the reporter assured him that yes, in fact, it was true, he laughed and said that was unfortunate.
“I don’t know, I kind of liked Colbert on the ballot, myself,” Mr. Edwards said. “I think it adds a little interest.”
Mr. Colbert is a native of South Carolina. He paid $2,500 for a spot on the Democratic ballot, but party officials deemed his candidacy was not serious and they decided Thursday to turn down his application.
So now, once again, Mr. Edwards is the only native South Carolinian on the presidential ticket. Those yearning for Mr. Colbert, it seems, will have to be satisfied with tuning into his show on Comedy Central.

I hope they enjoy reruns.

Just when the presidential run was FINALLY becoming interesting. At least Edwards knows a good candidate when he sees one!
I echo the sentiments about reruns and sobs…I can’t even think about it.

Reruns! Erg! Boo hiss at the suits.
There go my 11/8 TCR taping reservations. I wonder what will happen with those?
Things are sucking harder than a Dyson vacuum.

Yes, he does, Murasaki. I liked the “little snack food industry” barb from the other day. Man, they just got back from vacation, and now they’re gone again. I’m totally bummed.

John Edwards is a great candidate. I wish the press would take him at least as seriously as they take Colbert.

I have some friends who are visiing from Iowa. They have see all the candidates, and, much to their surprise, are most impressed with Edwards. He hasn’t seem to caught fire, and I’m not sure why. We’ll see.
