TIME MAG INVESTIGATION REVEALS: EDWARDS LOVES 'DIET COKE'

The nation's top magazine leads the journalism pack on Monday with an in-depth investigation on the background of Dem VP pick John Edwards.

TIME magazine's Karen Tumulty has learned: John Edwards drinks Diet Coke -- a lot of Diet Coke!

TIME unearths: "The North Carolinian who would be a caffeine-and-sodium-buzzed heartbeat away from the presidency subsequently admitted that 'on a good day' he has been known to open four before noon, at which point Kerry pronounced himself stunned, seized the can from Edwards and started reading the nutrition label aloud. 'Sodium, 2%. Protein, John, zero,' he called as Edwards scrambled for the door. As for himself, Kerry owned up: 'When I drink Coke, I have to drink the real thing, because of the sugar in it.'"

Not to be outdone by at least nine joint interviews Kerry and Edwards have conducted in the past few days with newspapers, news services and magazines, all embargoed for a Sunday release that would coincide with the pair's appearance on 60 MINUTES, editors at TIME snag the quote of the week:

"This man drinks a lot of Diet Coke," Kerry whispers to TIME, in its cover story set for maximum Monday impact.

If the media thinks anybody cares whether Democratic vice presidential candidate & pretty boy John Edwards drinks Diet Coke then you know the media has way too much time on its hands!!!

At least Edwards' Coke comes from a can. Not a mirror and a straw like the current occupant of the White House ;)

anybody see the video that photo of edwards with the football was taken from?

hilarious.

kerry looks comfortable throwing and tossing a football. and while it's clearly a PR, photo-op, at least it looks halfway believable.

edwards looks just goofy. and dropping more passes than featherstone in "necessary roughness..."

That's like saying Van Hagar is better than VDIII. While it may be technically a true statement, it is negated by the fact that both of them are garbage.
