Silky Pony defines charity as…his daughter and pol aide?

Silky Pone-Pone is doing whatever he can to keep his name in the press, regardless of how shameful or embarassing it might be. I guess he’s adopted the Ray Nagin school of thought: at least it keeps his brand out there. Anywho, from Michelle Malkin:

Ah, Silky Pony. He’s the gift that keeps on giving. According to Politico, naughty John Edwards wasn’t telling us the whole truth about where all his Dirty Filthy Fox News Funds for his coffee table book, “Home,” went:

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards recently defended taking a lucrative book contract from a publisher controlled by Rupert Murdoch — whose News Corp. empire Edwards has sharply criticized — by insisting that “every dime” of his $500,000 advance went to charity.

Left unmentioned by Edwards, however, was that Murdoch’s HarperCollins paid portions of a $300,000 expense budget for the book to Edwards’s daughter and to a senior political aide, Jonathan Prince.

Every dime, huh? (I guess it depends on the meaning of the word “every”…or is it “dime”? Dern, Eenglesh iz tuff! – Ed.)

“Every dime of the money they gave to me has gone to charity,” Edwards told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer earlier this month, suggesting News Corp. was trying to “silence” him because he opposes media consolidation. “This is a personal attack in response to me saying something that is not personal: I do not believe we should consolidate the media.”

His spokesman, Eric Schultz, said the charities include Habitat for Humanity and College for Everyone. Edwards did not mention the previously unreported fees to Prince and to Edwards’ daughter.

Convulsion. Of. Laughter. Thank you, silly, silly pony. We are so glad “they” will never silence you…

Now do you see why I said that we need for Silky to keep flapping his gums? I’d quit blogging about him, since he is highly unlikely to win the Dems’ nomination. But everytime he opens up that construction accident called his piehole, blogging goodness oozes.
