Edwards is 87, and he spent eight years in federal prison for corruption. But don't think for a second that age or the pen somehow softened his ability to work his audience — including an NPR reporter.

"People who listen to public radio don't vote for candidates like me," he says.

Edwards once boasted the only way he could lose an election in Louisiana was to be caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.

He was the only democrat that I have voted for. When David (KKK) Duke was running.

I never got this. Felons can't vote or own a gun but they can run for office?
