If you’re calling for John Edwards, try another number.
The
former North Carolina senator helped get the UNC Center on Poverty,
Work and Opportunity started to focus on one of his pet issues.But the center recently changed its after-hours message to discourage callers looking for him.
“Please
note: Senator John Edwards is no longer affiliated with this center and
cannot be reached at this number,” says a woman’s voice on the center’s
voice mail. “Thank you, and we look forward to speaking with you.”
… by asking, “Now that John Edwards no longer needs a phony job to give him a campaign platform, why the heck does this center still exist?”
Maybe it’s time for another Jon Sanders missive on the pointlessness of this group.
