The Children of Men review must have been one post too much. (Posted AFTER being hired, Edwards had no reason to cover up for his staff’s incompetence in hiring her any longer.)

In her rendition of the story, the heat she — and the Edwards campaign, more importantly — took has nothing to do with your vulgar denigration of mainstream religious beliefs.
