Clinton, Obama, Stand in Accord…its okay to make fun of John Edwards.

Senator Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards met for lunch Saturday to discuss the increasing rancor in the Democractic primary race. Clinton called for the meeting after Barack had flashed signals in speeches that he was going to start playing rough. Obama has been losing ground in democratic stronghold states, specifically California. The meeting went very amicably, with all candidates re-stating their commitment to limiting their personal attacks to the President and the Republican Party.
The meeting ended with Obama glancing sidelong at Hilary, before turning to Edwards and saying his campaign would be glad to pick up the check, as he could see John needed another haircut. At this point Barack and Hilary broke into laughter. Hillary then told Edwards she hoped he had been paid for all his work with the hedge funds, as it didn’t look like they would be paying anything to anybody any time soon. Clinton then offered to give him a ride in her caravan, if it would help save him gas money. Mr. Obama, who had been enjoying a glass of milk with his chocolate pie, did a nice job of covering his face, which was surely covered in milk as a liquid snorting sound could be heard clearly in a three table radius.
Edwards quickly called into “Hardball” asking for another appearance, once again blaming his fundraising efforts on that ”she-devil” Ann Coulter. He felt it was crucial that he be allowed to make a public call for another $25,000,000 in donations. John Edwards was last seen sucking his thumb and stamping his foot outside the cafe when Chris Matthews told him he was on vacation, and none of his guest hosts wanted to interview Edwards. Ann Coulter, responding to the news on The Factor, said simply “Buy my book, or I will scratch your eyes out.”
