John Edwards — screwing it up for kids in Greene County?
Andrew Young, the shockingly obsequious aide to John Edwards, has appeared on nearly every talk show to catalog all of the lies of the Edwards campaign.
Meanwhile, Rob Schofield has explained several times why the Edwards (and Easley) scandals do not taint the causes for which they fought. (Not counting the lottery in the case of Easley).
That’s why it was disturbing when Young spoke to Good Morning America today about the grand jury investigation into Edwards. Apparently, Young was asked a lot of questions about a foundation started by Edwards. Here’s what Young said:
So there was some stuff. There was some stuff about a foundation that went down to help poor kids in Greene County have the ability to go to college. I was surprised by that. I don’t know if that’s what they’re going after. Again, the grand jury doesn’t tell you much, they just ask you questions.
It’s certainly troubling that Edwards would risk hurting all of the people who worked for him by hiding his affair and child. It is also disturbing that he would so imperil the progressive agenda with his reckless behavior. But it is unforgivable if his behavior impacts a foundation that is trying to do good — or the innocent kids it is serving.
Let’s hope nothing come of this line of inquiry. But at this point, nothing would surprise me.
