Former Democratic VP candidate John Edwards' brother, Wesley Blake Edwards, is coming to a hoosegow near us on May 10. A 40 year old electrician living in North Carolina, the younger Edwards got a DUI ticket in Colorado in 1993 and never appeared. After his brother was named VP candidate, the ticket surfaced.

He pleaded guilty today in Arapahoe County, Colorado to the lesser charge of driving while impaired and got 60 days with work release. Why so stiff? It was his fourth alcohol-related driving conviction, and his license had been suspended after the third.

    I was almost killed but a guy like that, this kind of guy has a real problem so keep him in jail over night and let him work, but keep him from any car for life.
