Hardball not so hard for Edwards

[citizen snips]

CHAPEL HILL - Likely Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards passed the world leader pop quiz Tuesday night.
He correctly identified the leaders of Canada, Mexico, Iraq, Germany, South Africa and Italy when quizzed by Chris Matthews, host of MSNBC's "Hardball" program.

In fact, Edwards seemed to have little trouble fielding questions, ranging from the war in Iraq to his relative lack of foreign policy experience to his political ties to organized labor, before a live UNC-Chapel Hill crowd and a national TV audience.

"This is not hardball, this is batting practice," Matthews complained to the audience during a commercial break. "This guy is killing me. He couldn't do this four years ago."

from other sources, it appears Tweety has become a bit of a JE fan. But Tweety has behaved so strangely (in 2004 he won MediaMatters for America's Misinformer of the Year) over time, that I am not sure that it is a good thing to have his, well, affection or admiration. :-)
