No, not the story itself, which is all about the Edwards Campaign getting illegal campaign contributions. Democrat corruption of that nature is to be expected -- after all, honesty has never been a requirement in the Donkey Party.

No, this is the part I find hilarious.

Trial lawyers are a fixture of Democratic politics and fundraising, particularly in the South, but some also have a reputation in Democratic political circles for a freewheeling approach to campaign finance law. Within Edwards' 2004 campaign, staffers referred to those flamboyant personalities by an acronym: They called them "DFTLs," which according to former staffers was short for "dirty (expletive) trial lawyers."

"No current staffer for John Edwards for President uses that kind of language to talk about our donors," said Kate Bedingfield, campaign spokeswoman.

Edwards, of course, is one of those "dirty (expletive) trial lawyers." And while Bedingfield may be right that the phrase is no longer used in the campaign, I can't help bit be struck that the Edwards camp has no real objection to that particular expletive being used by staffers to describe Christians who deviate from the Gospel of Liberalism because the follow instead follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

After all -- Christians are much worse for the country than trial lawyers, isn't that right, Ms. McEwan and Ms. Marcotte?
