John Edwards Gets Tyra'd

John Edwards must have taken notice that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had both appeared on the venerable Tyra Banks Show. He taped an episode with the master interviewer Tuesday. And guess what! More "plight of the white male Democrat" nonsense. He doesn't think Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama had to fight extra hard for anything? Please. I believe dnA from Too Sense said it best:

First off, I have some issues with Tyra's math skills. There were two white people on stage that night, and one black person. There were two men on stage, and one woman. How, by any measurement, was John Edwards a minority?

Maybe Tyra just meant he was in the minority since he hasn't won a state's primary yet?

Lauren! Your last sentence was brilliant!

I don't know if he's trying to take the underdog stance, but he's going at it wrong. He'd do better to say something about how he's tried to stay above the fray while his opponents are trying to kill each other and blah, blah, blah - instead of playing some non-existent minority card. Boo, John, boo.

I love Tyra, but I have issues with her & her producers at times. I can appreciate her goofiness (I'm a goofball myself) but not the foolishness. She's doing the disservice to her audience.

This is it? The Obama and Clinton ones were Talk Soup/Best Week Ever gold. Is this the most fascinating part of this interview? No questions about what kind of underwear he wears? Where he gets his hair did? Whether he's the real daddy to that documentary chick's baby? How he beats his kids' behind when they act up? Where did all these hard-hitting questions go?!
