John Edwards, a 9-11 Truther?

We know that John Kerry is looking into it:



And now Edwards is looking into it:

These guys are such pander bears! I know that a pretty big chunk of the Democrats are gullible enough to believe this stuff:
According to Rasmussen, 35% of Democrats believe Bush knew about 9/11 in advance. The good news is 39% of Dems think he didn't. The remaining 26% aren't sure - though, at this rate, they'll be joining that 35% on the steely knoll well before the Iowa caucuses.
And it would be tempting to court that vote, but it's time these candidates set these people straight about this because their party has become unhinged and it's not good for the candidates to look like they are entertaining this lunacy even if a large chunk of their base agree with it. They have to think about the general election, the average American doesn't have BDS and would have a low view of a candidate who supports this insanity. These politicians would have the respect of more people if they set their party straight. They are the leaders of their party and should not encourage their people in this delusion, they should help them to see that they don't know what they're talking about. They are the ones who will be able to stop this before it goes any further, do they have what it takes as a leader to actually lead? This would be a good test of any of the candidates. The candidate who laughs at this question should win the nomination since they would demonstrate true leadership skills.

I think that someone should ask Edwards and Kerry Mark Steyn's question:
Since Senator Edwards is happy to look into whether WTC7 was an inside job, I wonder if he could also investigate whether Bush-Cheney-Rove-Rumsfeld also pulled off Bali, Beslan, Istanbul, Madrid and the London Tube bombings. And where are they hiding the cost of this planet-wide "war on terror" fakery? In the Katrina appropriations?
