John “Two Americas” Edwards’ political tin ear keeps biting him in the behind. First there was the 28,000-square-foot house. Then came the $400 haircut. Then there was the assertion that he “wasn’t personally involved” in the haircut. And now it comes to light that he charged the University of California at Davis $55,000 for a speech … on poverty.

Has Hillary Clinton managed to get an undercover adviser on both Edwards’ and Obama’s campaigns?

UPDATE: I completely forgot about the hedge fund misstep, in which Edwards made nearly half a million bucks in order to study how financial markets relate to poverty.

UPDATE: I added the link to the UC Davis story. Sorry I forgot it earlier.
