Why does the MSM hate Edwards?

That's kind of a rhetorical question, since they hate him because he will spell trouble for them.  

Right now, Timmeh is trashing him on MTP, bringing up the hedge fund connection.  It seems that they are trying to make him apologize for becoming successful.

He is a self-made man, the kind that Republicans hold up as icons to pulling yourself up by the boot straps.  

They are all hypocrites.  

Perhaps, the Republicans believe that since JRE's not about "I got mine, fuck everyone else, they just can't see it.

Sorry for the short diary, but it really makes me crazy.

HRC is fabulously wealthy as well, but no one seems to call her on it.  I am SURE that SOMEWHERE she has some "questionable" investments and connections, so why do they bash JRE on it, but not HRC?

PS - JRE just said this great quote: "We can't replace corporate republicans with corporate democrats."  

Think I'll change my sig line.
