He IS a scum bag. Even John Kerry commented after the election that the guy had a pretty limited concept of reality

Like telling John Kerry that a story about his dead son that "he'd never told anyone before," and Kerry had heard it from him a few months earlier.

Keep in mind, Edwards claims that this affair was over more than a year ago - so precisely what was he doing in the hotel with her last month?

This story is a lot of things, and 'over' isn't one of them

In his righteous campaigning John Edwards said that there are "two Americas". HA! There are also two John Edwards!

You're are absolutely right, MrWizard. This isn't over! This story will continue right into the Democratic National Convention. Now tell me why, as if I don't already know, why the mainstream media didn't jump on this like they jumped on the unfounded story of John McCain. Hello, NY Times--where are you???
Can you say DOUBLE STANDARD!!!

McCain's adultery and bigamy isn't an unfounded story. It's documented in court records reported by the Los Angeles Times:

In fact, the way he treated his first wife and married his second earned him a cold shoulder from Ronald and Nancy Reagan for a long, long time.

In short, McCain's telling of the story doesn't add up to the dates in court records and on marriage certificates. He either has a problem with memory or honesty. Neither are good character traits for a president.

No shell game here, TM6068. And I'm citing court records, inconvenient as legal facts may be for some. With Gingrich, Vetter, Giuliani, McCain, etc., guilty of adultery, bigamy, solicitation of prostitution, refusal to pay alimony and child support (some with regard to sick wives, some on multiple counts), the Republicans are in no position to crow self-righteously over Edwards. And that's just cases of heterosexual misconduct... There's Foley, Craig, Allen, Curtis, Haggard and their public men's room, congressional page or male hustler antics for variety's sake. All in the past year or two, to boot! So no, the GOP is in no position whatsoever to moralize over this. People in glass houses ought not to throw stones -- and you have to take the plank out of your own eye before you can see the speck of sawdust in another's.

Man I have to tell you if you read Joe's comments and then you read Abunai's you have to come to that conclusion that we need to through them all out of office every single corrupt one of them

What I find really troubling is the quality of women Clinton & Edwards went after. Edwards is a good looking guy and you would think he could have done better.....and Slick Willy with Monica??? Come on!!! You are the leader of the freakin free world and the best you can do is an overweight intern? Looking on the bright side at least these were women unlike the conquest of many of the exposed Repubs who have been "outed" in the past few years.
