This is a Wal-Mart Press Release:

Yesterday, a staff person for former Sen. Edwards contacted a Wal-Mart electronics manager in Raleigh, North Carolina to obtain a Sony PlayStation3 on behalf of the Senator’s family. Later that night, Sen. Edwards reportedly re-told a homespun story to participants of a United
Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union-sponsored call about how his son had chided a fellow student for purchasing shoes at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart welcomes Sen. Edwards to visit his local Wal-Mart store and explore the extensive line of home electronics as well as the Metro7 line shoes for men and boys.

The Company noted the PlayStation3 is an extremely popular item this Christmas season, and while the rest of America’s working families are waiting patiently in line, Senator Edwards wants to cut to the front. While, we cannot guarantee that Sen. Edwards will be among one of the first to obtain a PlayStation3, we are certain Sen. Edwards will be able to find great gifts for everyone on his Christmas list - many at Wal-Mart’s “roll-back prices.”

I don't know is more irritating to me, the hypocrisy or the fact that he tried to use his name to get something no one else could get...

Hmm.... am I surprised that a former politician would try to do this?

Not really. Everyone knows that politicians are the scum of the earth and only exist to promote their interests and special interests. This is just a tale of how Edwards promoted his interests while lying to special interests. While not ethical, it is significantly better than how most politicians lie to the people that elected them on behalf of their special interests.

I knew I didn't like Edwards for some reason. Could you provide a link?

He did, click on "Wal-Mart press release" at the top. You might not have seen the link because it was the same color as the rest of the words.

I did. If you click on WALMART RELEASED A PRESS RELEASE at the top of the post, it will take you right to it. (It's hard to tell that it's a link, since the text just gets smaller, but it really is there, I promise.)

OK, I thought it was normal text. This source is pretty suspect though.
