The Biggest Liar in the Democrat Primary Season Just Got Busted

John Edwards has never seemed to be an honest person to me. He seems the sort that will say anything, claim anything as long as it gets him attention.
Well, after the tragic asassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan John Edwards said the following (on 12/27/2007 on his website):

"I spoke to President Musharraf a few minutes ago and I urged him to continue the democratization process because of how important it is to the Pakistani people and how important it is to his country. I also urged him to allow international investigators into Pakistan so that, for the rest of the world, there can be credibility in determining what the facts were and what actually occurred."

People were skeptical about his actually talking to Musharraf. When people expressed doubt, Edwards reiterated his statement. The incident was covered by Ben Smith at Politico quoting Radio Iowa, the blog,

...so when I spoke to the ambassador earlier today I said if Musharraf, if the president had time would you have him give me a call because I'd like to speak with him directly and he called."

I don't know how long the reference on John Edwards site will stay there, since he got caught in the lie tonight in Las Vegas. But this man has NO business running for office, he should just go back to his ambulance chasing days.

Did you notice the rapid blinking of his eyes when he lies? It is his tell, much like Bill Clinton's tell was the boney finger pointing at the interviewer.

Now perhaps Edwards will go and try to change the narrative, claim that others got it wrong. But they didn't and IF they did he left them with the impression that he was doing presidential type work. Many on the right were condemning his showboating and saying that his insertion of himself in the situation was unwise. Well, now it turns out he didn't do anything but grab headlines.

Thank you Andrew Breitbart for making sure everyone can see what this phony is really like.
