Apparently, Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards don't care much for the America they don't belong to.
When Sen. John Edwards ran for president four years ago, the North Carolina Democrat declared that President Bush had divided the nation into "two Americas ... one America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward."Meanwhile, John Edwards goes after a photo-op at a nursing home to 'prove" just how much he really does care... when the media is watching.Turns out that the other America lives right next door to the 28,000-square-foot, $5.3 million mansion Mr. Edwards has built near Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Edwards' neighbor, Monty Johnson, lives on 42 acres that the Johnson family has owned for decades. Mr. Johnson, 55, has been known to brandish firearms to chase away trespassers, which frightens the former senator's wife, who called the Johnson property "slummy" and condemned its owner as a "rabid Republican."
"I don't want my kids anywhere near some guy who, when he doesn't like somebody, the first thing he does is pull a gun out," Elizabeth Edwards told the Associated Press, explaining why she hasn't said so much as "howdy" to her neighbor.
I guess Edwards was right about two Americas, just not in the way he thought.
