JOHN EDWARDS SELF DESTRUCTING. At a recent Hollywood reception, Mr. Edwards opined:

Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace . . . [is] the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran's nuclear facilities.

Perhaps Mr. Edwards could join Congressmen Silvestre Reyes and John Murtha and invest in a current events class on Iran, Ahmedinijad, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, etc. Edwards might have had a shot against Hillary, but with gaffes like this one and last weeks fiasco with the intemperate bloggers he hired and then fired, and coupled with the rise of Obamamania, Edwards will not long last as a serious contender for the Democratic nomination for President.
