Edwards' Neighbor Diagnosed with Rabies

Speaking of biotech and not being nice, read this story about the "rabid, rabid Republican" living next to John and Elizabeth Edwards.

"I wouldn't be nice to him anyway," Edwards said in an interview. "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. It scares the business out of me."

[snippety-snip]

Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.

Johnson, 55, acknowledges his Republican roots. But he takes offense to the suggestion he has purposefully left his property, including an old garage that he leases for use as a car shop, in dilapidated condition.

Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he's spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract.

Johnson also notes that Edwards ain't be much fo' the po' people.

  2. It's just like you, Kathleen, to generalize and assume that all squirrels have rabies. Sheeeeesh.

    LOL on the JE wife.

  3. The Edwardses are all about helping the poor. Unless it's the poor next door, in which case the best solution might be for them to be put down humanely, especially if they are gun owners.

  4. Hmmm -- I didn't think politicians were supposed to be offering medical diagnoses.
