… An ABC news camera this morning caught him on his Blackberry while driving to court—oh noes! That’s another $100 dollars in fines on top of your already mounting legal expenses, John! Scandal! Although, to be fair, as I was coincidentally discussing last night, texting on a Blackberry while driving is infinitely less dangerous than doing so on an iPhone. You can see the damning footage yourself in the first few minutes of this video:

Nit-picky.

  1. Marjorie, why the fuck are you in the position to comment on the relative safety of texting while driving on the i phone vs a Blackberry?
    Are you really that stupid?

  2. Both activities are dangerous, and both can result in moving, 4000 lbs objects smashing into each other and potentially ruining lives. Get off the fucking phone, ya’ll, and keep your eyes and attention on the road at all times.

  3. Hey frankieb, I drive a stick—I do NOT have the hands to text on any device, though I admit I have tried to. Once. Maybe twice. A long time ago. But if I WERE to (in an automatic), I would rather use a B-berry

  4. Sheesh, as if John Edwards wasn’t a big enough pile of shit already, he just HAD to go and do the SINGLE WORST THING POSSIBLE FOR ANY HUMAN IN THE WORLD EVER, PAST AND PRESENT.

    I had been clinging to the possibility of your redemption, Mr. Edwards.

    I shall cling NO MORE.

  5. Marjorie – so it was HYPOTHETICAL like?
    Well, driving-wise you already got that woman going against you, so you don’t need any more challenges, huh?!
    Just playin’.
    This leads me into my fave sexist Helen Keller joke.
    How come Helen Keller couldn’t drive?
    You can guess the answer.

  6. It’s also funny to see John Edwards strung up over adultery, using campaign funds to cover a love child, and texting while driving: if he had any sense, he would have simply lied his way into an illegal war that killed hundreds of thousands of people, tortured a buttload of other people, all the while wiping his ass with our nation’s founding document. You don’t even get a ticket for that!
