John Edwards Debates Karl Rove In Secret, Camera-Free Bankers’ Lair

Hey John Edwards, want to debate Karl Rove in San Francisco for some reason? Sure why the hell not! That’s what’s going on today in San Francisco, where the two are engaging in a discussion about the economy at a meeting of commercial bankers. No Cameras. This is only Edwards’ second appearance since admitting that he banged a dingbat f-list 1980s New York socialite, “Rielle.” He can slip in to San Francisco and debate “finance” with a Republican fraud-lord for an unusually high speaking fee very, very stealthily, because most media outlets in the area are busy covering the current Gays vs. Blacks vs. Mormons Marriage War that has set the quaint seaside metropolis ablaze.

  1. They are about equally relevant as each other. Is this a good example of spontaneous order?

    Karl Rove won’t even give out his shoe size unless there are no recordings and he’s not under oath.

    …hey, Cheney just greeted Biden at the Naval Observatory! Pray for his soul!!!

    Hey, John, Karl will mention your illegitimate baby. That’s what he does.

  5. OMG. That. picture. is. so. perfect. Hearty congratulations.

    San Francisco is probably a good city for Edwards — the demographics make it less likely he impregnates anyone.

    What kind of twisted sicko gets joy out of seeing the two of the biggest embarassments to their respective parties blow smoke out of their anuses at each other for 2 hours?

    (slowly raises hand in shame)

    Who are these gays and how can I marry one?

    hedgehog: I dunno. It’s probably been a little while since anyone has shown Pretty-Boy any love. Sitting next to Karl, reeking of expensive cologne with fold after fold of soft, pampered skin, might be too much for a swordsman like Edwards to resist.

    John’s just trying to raise enough money to keep his baby mama from spilling the beans in a book…

    theres a big problem now that her $15,000 a month has ‘died’…

    yes, i read the Enquirer…..

  11. sanantonerose says at 5:37 pm, November 13th, 2008

    I’d punch Karl Rove in the throat if it weren’t for the fact that his neck folds would suck my hand in like the blob.

    Ooooooooooo - a Douche-Off! Less, Rumble in the Jungle - more, Kerfuffle in the Bathhouse, but still…

    anabellum: Likewise. But only for the latest on the trashy Heath-Palin homestead.

  14. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 6:28 pm, November 13th, 2008

    There are two Americas, one that cares about John Edward’s failed career and one that does not. Clearly the latter is larger than the former.

  15. One Yield Regular says at 6:42 pm, November 13th, 2008

    I can’t imagine a more unlikely place for these two to meet. Clearly they’re just in town to seek out the remaining few bottles of Palin Syrah.

  16. anabellum says at 7:20 pm, November 13th, 2008

    josereyes.theroof: enquiring minds want to know…

    the, um, pic looks like that Star Trek episode where John Edwards goes back to the 20th century to become a dentist and play the cello. Oh, that’s some girl lady in front of him, not a cello.

  18. shortsshortsshorts says at 7:33 pm, November 13th, 2008

    Does Karl live here now or something? He was at that thing at the Metreon where people protested AND NOW he is fistycuffing with John Edwards at some bank function.

    One more gay to add to our proud rainbow city.
