A couple of weeks back, The Stiletto played armchair psychiatrist and suggested that Elizabeth Edwards has become her husband’s “attack dog” (as Howard Kurtz put it) because she is dying and has nothing left to lose, so she’s speaking her mind like there’s no tomorrow. The Stiletto opined that her in-your-face assertiveness could have a diminishing effect on her husband. Well, that may be the least of the worries of the Edwards campaign.

In an interview with CIO Insight in which Elizabeth discusses how online media can help candidates get their message out by “bypassing the sieve of the mainstream media,” she dismisses (or just disses) Obama and Hillary as have nothing going for them other than irrelevant biological factors that cannot be changed:

“With Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama hogging media coverage, campaigns can push their messages without paying for ads. … We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman. Those things get you a lot of press, worth a certain amount of fundraising dollars. Now it’s nice to get on the news, but not the be all and end all.”

Oh, why wait for Ann Coulter to say it? But can you make him a man? That’s worth something in fundraising dollars. Just ask Hillary.
