Walmart and Edwards Battle for PS3's

Must be nice being a half-termer Senator that once ran for vice president and lost.
All kinds of perc's,...

Wal-Mart accuses ex-senator of cutting in line for PS3

From Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, company spokesman David Tovar said the person who called left a voicemail at the Raleigh store and identified himself as an Edwards staff member. When the manager returned the call, the staff member again identified himself as working for Edwards, and Wal-Mart said it confirmed that with Edwards' office.


The retailer's news release accused Edwards of not wanting to wait his turn.

"While the rest of America's working families are waiting patiently in line, Senator Edwards wants to cut to the front," the Wal-Mart statement said.

Edwards said the volunteer was "a young kid" unaware of what he called flawed Wal-Mart policies. He called the Wal-Mart statement an effort to divert attention from its own problems.

After Wal-Mart this summer hired Edelman executive Leslie Dach as its public relations director and put him on the company's executive team, analysts said the retailer would likely become more aggressive toward its critics.

PlayStationGate?

I'm sure this will be long forgotten by 2008, but I don't think Edwards has any chance anyway.

This guy has such a colorful background, I just wish he passed the Dem primary back in 04 so we could have heard more about it in the news! He's the guy who, as a trial lawyer, sued a doctor for malpractice and "channeled" the unborn baby who later died due to pregnancy complications. Yet for him abortion is a-okay open-season. No PS3 for you, your kid wanted a Wii anyway - time to join Gore on the perma-DL.
