TheRealityCheck.Org Featured Writer: "Edwards said, at a rally in Newton, Iowa, '... when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.''
Edwards took the occasion of Christopher Reeve's death to play the stunts he used as a trial lawyer, saying that if he and Kerry are elected, the lame will walk. Charles Krauthammer labeled this the worst example of demagoguery he has witnessed in 25 years of DC politics. Were Krauthammer to study Edwards more closely, he would have to revise his statement frequently -- this incident barely scratches the surface of the depths of Edwards' ruthless opportunism.
Sen. Kerry also sought to take advantage of Reeve's tragedy. According to Tribune National Correspondent, Jill Zuckman, Kerry claimed Reeve called him on the night of the second debate, and left a message thanking him for supporting stem cell research. 'The excitement in his voice was really just palpable. He was just thrilled at where the discussion of stem cell research had come to.' Reeve had already fallen in to a coma at the time Kerry claims he called. Kerry's willingness to exploit people and situations knows no bounds."
