HECK, THAT BARELY COVERS HIS HAIRSTYLING EXPENSES...:

Edwards daughter received Murdoch money (Ben Smith, Aug 12, 2007, Politico)

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards recently defended taking a lucrative book contract from a publisher controlled by Rupert Murdoch -- whose News Corp. empire Edwards has sharply criticized -- by insisting that “every dime” of his $500,000 advance went to charity.

Left unmentioned by Edwards, however, was that Murdoch’s HarperCollins paid portions of a $300,000 expense budget for the book to Edwards’s daughter and to a senior political aide, Jonathan Prince.

Charity does begin at home, apparently.
