Crickets didn't just chirp...

So with the election still more than a year and a half away, Democrats had their first presidential debate, with a broad range of candidates representing the Left, the Far Left, the Extreme Wacko Left, and Dennis Kucinich. Best quip from coverage of the event goes to Mickey Kaus of Slate.com with the following about John Edwards:

Edwards kind of faded into the background. Crickets didn't chirp--they completed their entire life-cycle during the pause after Edwards was asked to name his 'moral leader.' ...

Yup, that about says it for Mr. Edwards, whose true moral compass always points to his ego.
