Now We Know Where John Edwards Finds All Those Poor People He's Always Talking About...

He Makes 'Em

August 18, 2007 -- "Embarrassed presidential hopeful John Edwards promised yesterday to take millions of dollars of his own fortune out of a hedge fund tied to subprime lenders who foreclosed on victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The populist (?) candidate - who has denounced such lenders - invested $16 million of his $30 million in assets in Fortress Investment Group. The Wall Street Journal reported that 34 New Orleans homeowners struggling to overcome Katrina's aftermath faced foreclosure suits from subprime-lending units of Fortress."

Sure. I believe that Edwards didn't know what was in his portfolio. Man who spends that much time fussing with his hair is bound to miss a few million investments here and there.

GOTCHA. You thieving little disingenuous twerp.
