Only In America


Monty Johnson, though he owns 42 acres of land, is not a rich man. He lives in a single wide trailer with his wife. He happens to live beside John and Elizabeth Edwards, and Elizabeth has made him a star by saying he is a "rabid, rabid republican" and she fears for her children because he lives next to their $6 million estate, and he owns a gun.

Three words for Elizabeth: Out of touch. This guy is not a criminal and not dangerous. If she's afraid of him, she's afraid of a good part of Armstrong county and many rural folks all across this great land. Her husband ran with John Kerry a few years ago saying that there were two Americas: one for the rich and priviliged and the other for the regular folks. I wonder which is which in Monty's neighborhood?

"Rabid, Rabid Republican." Hm.... Is this they way she and her circle of friends speak of Americans that don't agree with her point of view? Rabid? Such vitriol.

All I can say is that I hope the publicity that Monty gets from this will get him enough money to buy a doublewide.

Had John won, on the bright side, we would have had 4 years of hysterical laughter from Lizzy's antics. Ok, so we would probably have been more upset than humored. Despite it all, I still prefer Heinz ketchup to Hunts :)
