UPDATED!!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!!! Edwards got ZERO DOLLARS FOR HIS BOOK!!!!

[jsamuel]

All the money went to charity.

Actually, this news is not breaking. It was known when he sold the book that all the money from it would go to charity. So the people who are pushing this story know that Edwards never intended to get any money for the book. Even if he had, it just means he wrote a book and people bought it and he made money. Just last month they attacked Edwards for starting a non-profit for ending poverty. Beware the spin.

Direct from Fox News themselves on May 17th:

Edwards also received $333,334 in royalties for his book "Home: The Blueprints of Our Lives." The money was donated to charity.

Charities included Habitat for Humanity, International Rescue Committee, and the College for Everyone program.

1. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find

just anything to say against Edwards. Who is so blasted
nervous??? This is really reaching--and not finding much.

3. Thanks!

I knew someone would be able to find this. We all knew he donated the money to charities. Habitat for Humanity was one of the charities.

Bad on Edwards, huh? Calling out Murdoch one day and then getting smeared by the Post the next. The fact that dems are even doubting Edwards on this really makes me sick.

I guess it is true, Edwards should just shut up about the things that are wrong with Fox News, poverty, etc. :sarcasm:

5. but the charitable donations . . .

decreased his tax burden, which is is the same thing as money.

why is it that we are so horrified when politicians do something
political?

6. This Biden supporter likes Edwards alot too.

He is a good guy.

And that is very admirable.
