Too bad he's a PI ambulance chaser.

"What we need in the White House is somebody who has the strength, courage and leadership to take responsibility and be accountable, not only for what's good but for what's bad," Edwards said. He said Kerry is that leader, as demonstrated during the Vietnam War when he captained a Navy patrol boat and won medals for valor.

Joining the criticism of the Bush administration today was Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.), who contrasted Blair's acceptance of responsibility for faulty Iraq intelligence with what he described as the Bush administration's refusal to admit mistakes.

"In stark contrast to this administration, today we saw Prime Minister Tony Blair take responsibility for intelligence failures related to the Iraq war," Durbin said in a conference call with reporters. "We know where the buck stops in London. We don't know where the buck stops in Washington."

The Edwards campaign trip -- on a day off for Kerry -- coincided with a series of campaign stops by President Bush in Wisconsin, a state he narrowly lost in 2000.
