Edwards Affair

Well now he's admitted it.  Edwards did have an affair with that woman.  He says he's not the baby daddy.  He also says it was when his wife's cancer was in remission.  What a prince. 

What was he thinking?  What if he had recieved the nomination?  Did he really think this wouldn't come out?  Did he learn nothing from Gary Hart?  And where was the MSM?  I do think this is a valid issue of the character of a Presidential candidate.  Why is it that the Enquirer is the one breaking this story? 

I hope he is smart enough to just go away now.  I also hope that Elizabeth Edwards does not have to stand beside him while he makes his apology speech.

 I wonder if this act is defined as sex by Democrats. Bills Lewinskies were classified as 'non sexual.' so I wonder how this will play out.

"Man, I'm horny" is my guess.

Sometimes I wonder what it is about impropriety that *really* offends people. I know why they *claim* it offends them, but I'm more likely to believe that fear is involved.

lol.  I think the biggest issue is the fact that he lied repeatedly about it while he was running for President.  It's also the thought of "my wife's in remission from cancer so NOW it's okay for me to have an affair".  ick.

Immorality, clearly knows no political party, has no political agenda, and has everything to do with a failure to say no.

Be well.

Just another politician letting the little head do the thinking for the big one.  Of course, Edwards big head is so far up his butt the little one is the only one available for comment.

If this was a republican there would be this so-called "outrage" in the media and public.  Edwards gets sympathy.

Didn't he also say he didn't love her? --- so that makes it okay, as long as it was purely physical and no emotions were involved. Disgusting.

Island Dog -- who's giving him sympathy?

Your right Shadesofgrey, go on over and watch the heads exploding, warning extreme language.

One thing that I find interesting (and rather revolting) is the way that the NT Times (in particular) has sat on this since October. 

Nah, there's no bias there, is there?

I hope so as well. But I doubt it.

Yep, that was a really bad call. It always amazes me that they think they are going to get away with it. It always outs at some point. And really what if he were the nominee?

Yep, is there not a responisbility to report the facts regardless of political leanings?
