Newsflash: Edwards supported Clinton... When I saw yesterday that Matt Drudge was promising to reveal the results of his "investigation" into the "mystery man," John Edwards, I have to admit my stomach did a quick back flip or two. Just what kind of sludge was about to get dumped on Edwards' head?

Well, it turns out that Drudge has caught Edwards -- get this now -- speaking kindly of a Clinton administration proposal to let an independent commission of some kind experiment with investing a small percentage of the Social Security surplus in the market, while leaving in place the guarantee that seniors now and in the future would get the benefits to which they're entitled under current law.

Wow! Next, Matt will be revealing that Edwards has been ... a good husband and father! And a terrific lawyer who's really helped people!

Sheesh.
