Rich Galen (Mullings) links to a long RNC research piece on John Kerry's running mate -- lots of comments from other Democrats, various media interviews, and quotes from John Edwards himself ("Who's Yitzahk Rabin?) -- but you gotta love this gem if you are from North Carolina:

Edwards Can’t Even Remember Make Or Model Of His Own Truck.

“In the New Hampshire interview, Edwards talked in detail on every policy question raised - but came up nearly blank when the questions turned to such everyday subjects as the people who had influenced him along the way, books he was currently reading, and even the make of his family’s vehicles. … And the family fleet? A Buick ‘with lots of miles on it’ (Edwards said he couldn’t remember the make; an aide said Park Avenue). ‘A bigger car, more like this’ (An SUV, an aide suggested, ‘probably’ a Ford Explorer or Expedition). A truck. Probably a Ford or a Chevrolet, Edwards says. ‘It’s white, and it’s sitting in front of my house.’” (Jon Sawyer, “Sen. Edwards Pitches ‘Real Solutions’ In His Populist Message,” St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 8/10/03)

You can see the Bush/Cheney ad now:

"I'm George W. Bush and I approved this Ford F-150 FX4 SuperCab with 5.4L 3-valve Triton V8, shift-on-the-fly 4x4 drivetrain, 3.73 limited-slip rear axle, with dual skid plates.

And by the way, Raid on Entebbe is one of my favorite movies; write John Edwards and tell him to watch it and get a clue."
