Bill Maher Asks John Edwards What No Media Member Will Dare Ask Hillary Clinton

Alright, let me ask you about your vote in 2002, the vote to authorize George Bush to at least have the authority to go to war. Uh, your response to that was to write an editorial which began with the words “I was wrong,” words you don’t usually hear from a politician.. Uh, Hillary Clinton says, “I was misled.” So, what’s the difference between “I was wrong” and “I was misled?”

For the record, this was Edwards’ response:
Uh, “I was wrong” means – I’m only speaking for me – means that I take responsibility for making a serious mistake on a vote that was probably the most important vote I cast in the United States Senate. Uh, I think we desperately need, uh, leaders in this country who will admit when they were wrong. We’re all human. All of us make mistakes. Admit when we’re wrong, change course, take responsibility, uh, for being wrong. I don’t think you can have, uh, the foundation for leadership, the moral foundation for leadership, if you don’t start by telling the truth. And, at least for me, this is the truth.

Even if Edwards is full of crap, that is a great answer. What would happen if people started answering like that and meant it!!!
