Sen. John edwards caught with mistress and love child!

Clinton was a sitting president and incredibly popular. There was a lot of self-interest in defending him. Besides which, there was an strong element of overkill in the Republicans taking advantage of that to try to propel themselves into power. Clinton's situation was quickly transformed from a debate over whether he was morally at significant fault into whether the Republican outrage was manufactured or genuine (in retrospect, surely some of both).

But Edwards? No party equity in him, really. He'll be jettisoned, and quickly. Expect the usual remarks, hoping he and Elizabeth can overcome this, at least he's confronting it now, what a shame, etc. But make no mistake, there's no need to help him out of this kind of scrape.

Edwards is a weak little man no doubt. I hope she kicks his a__ to the curb.

The progreession of these stories, stole this from another site but it is so true:

1) Too horrible and shocking; it can't possibly be true
2) It's not true
3) You can't prove it's true
4) Why are you trying to prove it's true?
5) It's disgusting that you've proved it's true
6) What's the big deal anyway? ...

Fabricated. Folks I know didn't believe it because it was from the Enquirer and were amused that the talking heads on Fox and Drudge were stomping their feet like three year olds that no major networks were covering it. No one was mad they were trying to prove it. Just rolling our eyes.

I know of no one that is excusing it, now that it turns out it is true. And I know of no one that is angry with those that have proven it.

Its just sad.

No, just tired of the Hannity straw man tactic of putting words in the collective mouths of the opposition and then attacking the Hannity-revised edition of what the Democracts say, rather than the merits of what the Dems actually said.

He and his ilk might as well claim that key Dems have stated that they are for the mutilation murders of all people living in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Florida. His bastardization of what Dems have actually said is almost that bad.

Why on earth do you listen to Hannity if he repulses you so.

He's a standard partisan - the left has them too. Ignore them and life will be fine.

1. I didn't make the list, just found it amusing
2. I don't like Hannity and not sure what he has to do with the list I posted
3. The Clinton deal lined up pretty closely with that list
4. I have already seen some dems on boards taking the stance of #6.

The main reason he ought to be out of politics because of it is that she's absolutely heinous.

It sounds like the affair is definitely true, but I (for some reason) believe him about the baby not being his. He wants to take a paternity case to clear the air. What he did was extremely wrong...but I'm not quite as upset about it once I read that it was back in 2006 and (according to him), not ongoing today. I don't know about the ongoing part...maybe not. He claims that he was going to try to keep it quiet...my guess discussing payment. His wife says that she knew it had happened and they had been working it out. Sad for their family...I just really, really hope he wasn't doing this still today....geez.

Mainly I just sorry for his kids. It just blows my mind that he thought this was going to stay a secret.

I don't get it. He knew he'd be running for pre. Why do this? Nutty.

But a source told the NATIONAL ENQUIRER: "Now that it seems to have blown wide open, Rielle may get her wish - all she wants is for John to marry her and for them to live happily ever after with their baby. She's tired of running and living a lie."

Why do women think like this? He's not going to marry her.

IMO it just shows the pure arrogance of our elected officials. So many think they can lead 2 lives and never get called out on it

the cynic in me thinks that even if Edwards did dump Elizabeth and marry this chick, she would become codependent in short order, have an affair of her own, divorce him and take him for whatever Elizabeth didn't get.

Edwards would have to stay in great shape to chase down all of the ambulances he could in order to pay off two bitter ex-wives.

I agree . . . but like I heard Jon Stewart say the other night, "He's running to be leader of the free world. Is arrogance really that surprising a trait?"
