Greg Gutfeld says former Senator John Edwards should take a DNA test to prove or disprove that Rielle Hunter’s baby is his, if only to show he cares “about the poverty of a single baby.”

If you’re going to talk about the despair of poverty, put your money where your big mouth is.

Well, progressivism doesn`t work that way. It`s the maxim of the typical lefty: if you think globally, you can screw everyone else locally. Those grand ideals – evident in greater concern for the world – always disappear when it’s closer to home, where it matters most. Anyone who has ever had a lefty roommate knows this: he will protest against greed, but he won`t pony up for the groceries. He will rail against injustice, but he will never clean the bathroom – which is a real injustice. He screams about war crimes, but refuses to take responsibility for his own crummy life.

So, as a strike against poverty – Edwards should take the DNA test.

And then his poor wife can write another book about it.
