"It depends on what the meaning of 'rich' is ..."
During Sunday's Democratic presidential debate, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Sen. John Edwards to define "rich person." The Lovely John Edwards responded thusly: "I don't know if I know what a rich person is."
Wall Street Journal reader Bart Harmon decided to give Sen. Edwards a few hints. To wit:
"You might be rich person if . . .
"You pay 400 bucks for a haircut, and that's with the ladies' day discount.
"Your house has more square footage than most Central American countries.
"You leave a larger carbon footprint than the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
"Your last three jobs were medical malpractice attorney, U.S. senator and hedge fund manager.
"You can talk easily about two Americas because you own at least one of them.
"You are paid $55,000 an hour to speak about poverty, and that's your college rate."
