Edwards didn't write the book he's peddling, he only edited it.
Two weeks ago, Edwards and his fellow Democrat Barack Obama participated in a conference call with Wake Up Wal-Mart--the two scolded Wal-Mart because they said they don't pay their employees enough.
But look what Brian at Iowa Voice found in today's Manchester Union-Leader.
Former Sen. John Edwards is to spend an hour at the Manchester Barnes & Noble tonight promoting his new book. We find his choice of venue very interesting.
In Manchester, the local Wal-Mart store sits right behind the Barnes & Noble. It has more floor space, a parking lot several times the size of Barnes & Noble's, and is easier to access by car or public transportation.
But Edwards would not be caught dead inside a Wal-Mart. Saying that the company pays its employees too little, Edwards has embarked on an anti-Wal-Mart crusade. He instructs his staff members and all Americans not to shop at Wal-Mart.
"Wal-Mart makes plenty of money. They need to pay their people well," Edwards said at a Pittsburgh anti-Wal-Mart rally in August.
The Manchester, New Hampshire Barnes & Noble pays their people $7.00 to start--Wal-Mart pays its new-hires $7.50, the Union Leader reports.
