Media finally finds something negative to print about John Edwards! He sold his house to a couple who may or may not have done something wrong. What?

When former North Carolina senator and Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards finally succeeded last month in selling his imposing Georgetown mansion for $5.2 million after it had languished on the market, the names of the buyers were not publicly disclosed.

In reality, the buyers were Paul and Terry Klaassen, according to several sources and confirmed by Edwards's spokeswoman yesterday.

The wealthy founders of the nation's largest assisted-living housing chain for seniors, the Klaassens are currently cooperating with a government inquiry in connection with accounting practices and stock options exercised by them and other company insiders. They are also the focus of legal complaints by some of the same labor unions whose support Edwards has been assiduously courting for his presidential bid.

So let us get this straight. Edwards has been having some trouble selling this very expensive home, he gets an offer and makes the deal, but he is a bad guy for not doing a background check on the buyers? How many of you would have investigated the buyers of your house?

I wouldn't! I would be so damn thrilled to get out from under the taxes that I would be much to happy to wonder if they may have some shady business dealings in their portfolio.

This is not the responsibility of the seller of a house! If they can afford the property that is pretty much all any of us would care about.

This is a pathetic attempt to find some dirt on John Edwards. If this is all they can come up with he should have no problem being elected President.
