Musharraf Calls...John Edwards??

On a day in which the Pakistani government and its people are thrown into chaos, President Pervez Musharraf found time to call....John Edwards?? Yep.

“He called me,” Edwards said, “because I told the ambassador I’d like to speak to him. I met him a few years ago, which I think I told you earlier, and we had a conversation in which I urged him to continue the democratization process. He told me, he gave me his assurances that he intended to do that, and we also spoke about having international independent investigators allowed into the country for transparency purposes, for credibility purposes, and we spoke briefly about the elections.”

Actually, I think he was just looking for some hairspray tips so he'd look good at the funeral.
