#1 Edwards claimed $333,334 in royalties from last year's release of the book, according to media accounts. The campaign said last night that those funds were part of the advance. He says he gave that amount to charity, which would also provide tax benefits for Edwards. "We're more than happy to give even more of Murdoch's money to Habitat for Humanity and other good causes," spokesman Eric Schultz told The Post yesterday.

Murdoch! That rich...evil...bastard! Ya don't see him worried about the Two Americas! No sireeee!

#2 I bet Edward's haircut costs more than rich, evil Murdoch's haircut.

No doubt, it's payment to the author. You can't expect someone as wealthy and important as Edwards to spend time actually writing his own autobiography.
