John Edwards: Punchline
August 25th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Comedian Paul Mecurio took advantage of a long line outside the California Street entrance to the DNC credentials office to add a touch of levity to the borderline heatstroke that had some would-be convention attendees battling distemper.
After mock-interviewing one such about “how it felt” to share a girlfriend with the presidential hopeful-turned-bad joke, Mecurio asked the couple’s better half if her presumptive affair with Edwards was “in remission” before handing over a (fully dressed) Barbie doll and asking her companion to show him “where Edwards touched you.”
Results of the filmed interaction will eventually make their way to www.paulmecurio.com.
The t-shirt, by the way, reads: “Edwards ‘08 Don’t Be a Player Hater.”
