Denies the kid is his...though he hasn't taken a paternity test.

[Mandark]

There goes the poverty tour.  Oh well.

[Fragamemnon]

weak willed sad sack of shit and a traitor to his party. I'd have him publically flogged at the convention if I was in charge.

Finally, something for Bill to do!

[Eel O'Brian]

Keep rockin

[APF]

In fairness, he was single in that America.

[Phoenix Dark]

so he cheats on his cancer ridden wife, admits to it in 2006...yet refuses to admit it publically until after he's lost the 2008 primaries. on the day of the Olympics opening ceremonies no less. What a fucktard

if he had won the nomination he would have kept this secret until the inevitable October expose

[Fresh Prince]

I've come to think all successful men cheat on their spouses. I mean it makes sense alpha male, command and conquer and all that other pop psychology bullshit.

i am not sure why folks are so concerned with other folks' fidelity

Oh sure, says the guy busted watching bestial porn by his wife!

He just had to get in the peverbial jab against McCain and his first wife.

  Edwards

What a chicken shit.


Woodruff looks great though...good to see him back.

[Phoenix Dark]

The full version of Bob Woodruff's interview with John Edwards just aired on ABC, figuring Edwards alternately penitent, defensive, and dismissive of the tabloid reports that unearthed his affair.

He also, in explaining his view that his dalliance could remain private, cited Republican John McCain's reported affair at the end of his first marriage almost three decades ago.

"What I was thining was this was something that was personal to my own family," Edwards said, citing other public figures having survived extramarital affairs. He recalled, he said, having heard "John mccain talk about the mistakes that he’s made in his past with respect to his first marriage."

"I’m not the first person to do this," he said.

Holy shit, that's Kobe-esque on the Bitch Scale

[Eel O'Brian]

i am not sure why folks are so concerned with other folks' fidelity

i'm not, he can fuck whoever he wants, however he wants, at the foot of his wife's hospital bed with a diamond-studded anal plug paid for by his ambulance-chasing for all I care

but when there's the distinct possibility that hush money has been paid out ("Uh, maybe my friends paid it, I dunno anything about that, heh-heh") in an attempted cover up, and now that he's flat busted his immediate excuse is "bububububu McCain" - well, that puts it into another realm of oily shysterdom

as a lawyer, he should probably realize "uh, other people do it all the time" isn't exactly an iron-clad defense tactic

it's hilarious watching people around the web trying to spin that - "Well, he had no choice but to pay her off, the hopes and dreams of the country depended on it"

he'd have been better off just shrugging and grinning sheepishly when confronted

[siamesedreamer]

The timeline tells why he's denying the kid.

Elizabeth found out about her recurrance in March 07. The baby was born in February 08. So, if he's the father, then he was still tapping if after she found out she had incurable cancer.

[Phoenix Dark]

What's up with politicians banging the homeliest chicks possible. Seems like Gary Hart was the only dude with taste in womenz

[laesperanzapaz]

Many of those closest to Edwards did not hide their disappointment and anger after the 55-year-old husband and father admitted to both having an affair with filmmaker Rielle Hunter and lying about it for months. Former campaign manager David Bonior said he was one of the thousands of friends and supporters that Edwards betrayed, and he shuddered when thinking about what might have happened had Edwards beaten Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama in the party's primaries.

thank fuckiing god he lost. damn man

[Phoenix Dark]

Are people shocked by this? He's a well established political phony who will do and say anything to get elected - hence his left wing populist swing after 2004. If Obama had not entered the race who knows, he might have actually beaten Hillary; the reason he didn't go public with the affair in 2006 is obviously because he was already planning his 2008 "The Anti Hillary" campaign. 

Never forget:

Kerry talked with several potential picks, including Gephardt and Edwards. He was comfortable after his conversations with Gephardt, but even queasier about Edwards after they met. Edwards had told Kerry he was going to share a story with him that he'd never told anyone else—that after his son Wade had been killed, he climbed onto the slab at the funeral home, laid there and hugged his body, and promised that he'd do all he could to make life better for people, to live up to Wade's ideals of service. Kerry was stunned, not moved, because, as he told me later, Edwards had recounted the same exact story to him, almost in the exact same words, a year or two before—and with the same preface, that he'd never shared the memory with anyone else. Kerry said he found it chilling, and he decided he couldn't pick Edwards unless he met with him again.

Read or watch that interview he gave, it's fucking pathetic.

especially the part where he avoids answering if he's ever held the baby that isn't his
