"The Politics of Planting," Edwards-style

Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor November 15, 2007 03:11 PM


John Edwards, the sharpest thorn in Hillary Clinton's side, is at it again on the web.

His campaign today announced it has created a website that jabs his fellow Democrat's campaign for admitting that it planted a question at an Iowa event with a college student.

With tongue firmly in cheek, Edwards' camp calls PlantsforHillary.com an one-stop shop: "Potential plants can listen to testimonials from past plants, read the 'Top 10 Questions Plants Should Never Ask Hillary,' learn how to recognize other plants at Senator Clinton's events, submit suggestions for planted questions, and purchase the soon to be released 'Questions are hard...so plant them' T-shirt."

The website also features a video, titled "The Politics of Planting," a sequel to "The Politics of Parsing" video that made fun of Clinton for her bobbing and weaving during the last debate. It shows the student asking the question, then winking.
