Edwards to Wal-Mart: You are Evil, but Can You Reserve a Playstation for Me

Oh this is delicious:

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. claimed Thursday that a prominent critic, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, asked his local Wal-Mart store for help in getting a hot new Sony PlayStation 3 - a claim the potential 2008 presidential candidate denied.

Edwards took part in a Wednesday conference call with union-led activists and criticized the world's largest retailer. The same day, Wal-Mart said, an Edwards staff member asked a Raleigh, N.C., electronics department manager to obtain a PS3 for the ex-senator's family.
