Turns Out Edwards Really Is A dude

[Conan71]

"I want to see our party lead on the great moral issues — yes, me a Democrat using that word — the great moral issues that face our country," Edwards tells the crowd. "If we want to live in a moral, honest just America and if we want to live in a moral and just world, we can't wait for somebody else to do it. We have to do it."

Admits to an affair while his wife was stricken with cancer and paid over $100K from a PAC to his mistress' "company".

John Edwards...Another Bad Boy Douchebagocrat..

FOTD, did you see how I played with the name of the democrat party. I am soooo funny.

[Gaspar]

This should actually increase his popularity within the DNC.

[Hoss]

Now, now, let's not forget about repukiclan Newt Gingrich.  There's enough to get out of that well for both parties, believe me.

And it seems a sitting president weathered that storm also...

You know how we know John Edwards is a Democrat?

He was with a WOMAN

[pmcalk]

Here's the thing--any guy arrogant enough to think he is the best person to run the free world, probably has a pretty high regard for himself when it comes to women.  I imagine that more affairs occur among politicians than with any other profession (save of course the oldest one).  Republican or Democrat, I am sure that the vast majority of our country's leaders have slept around.  And I can say without hesitation that I DON"T CARE.  I don't care who is sleeping with whom, and I really wish the media would just stop reporting it.  Why is everyone so obsessed with other people's sex lives?  Get a life.

word.  It's really not relevant unless they've been running around telling everybody that they're going to hell for it or that its ruining our country.

Funny Swake. I looked at my wife and said, "At least the Democrats make news by sleeping with women". Edwards has now dropped to the level of a candidate who would leave a damaged wife for a rich younger one, just like McCain.

I am disappointed but not surprised. None of my business. Maybe Inteller can order some tapes though.

Ouch!  I HATE being reminded us Democrats have gay politicians!  It just stings!  

Er, wait.  I forgot.  Democrats pretty much don't care.

[we vs us]

So, on topic:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the timeline seems to be:  affair ends in early 2006.  Edwards confesses to wife, family, and a few friends sometime in the middle of the year.  And in late December of 06, declares his candidacy.  

Not that he's not a dude, here -- 'cause of course he is -- but isn't it possible that by the time he's put himself up for election, the issue is, to those whom it matters most, water under the bridge?

Speaking of stings, it sounds to me like ol' John got his stinger caught in the honey jar.

Like McCain, or for that matter, Guiliani, was perfect when it comes to fidelity?

Like I said, plenty of that to go around both aisles....

They keep saying, "But he had the affair, THEN had the nerve to run for president."

Yup.

But so did good ole boy, John McCain.  He had an affair with Cindy while still married to his first wife.

They say,"But he did it while his wife had cancer."

Yup.

But what good ole boy, Jon McCain did was almost as bad. His first wife had an almost fatal car accident while he was away that left her less than the beautiful model he originally married.  So he had and affair and dumped her.  

At least Edwards didn't dump his wife.

At least Edwards didn't make a mistake that took thousands of lives.  I wonder what politican did that?

Hummm?
