I'll say this on every single post that addresses the issue of Edward's affair, without focusing on the far more important issue of how that matter is mishandled by the worthless eunuchs of the Democratic Party.
Here's delicate little ballerina Dan Fowler, clenching his anus extra-tight while doing his best to denounce John Edwards and jam his tongue up the asshole of the Republican Party at the same time:
"If there is not an explanation that’s satisfactory, acceptable and meets high moral standards, the answer is 'no,' he would not be a prime candidate to make a major address to the convention."
Is there any creature on the face of the planet more craven, more scheming and unprincipled, more completely lacking in a single atom of dignity or self-respect than the shit-for-brains apparatchiks of the Democratic Party? Here's a novel idea: leave all prissy observations about meeting "high moral standards" to your party's candidate - who obviously can't dirty his hands personally - while you take the exceedingly rare step of doing your fucking job. The way you go about that is simple: every single time the issue of Edward's affair comes up - let me repeat that; EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME, without any exception ever - you respond with a variation of the following:
"John Edwards has acknowledged his responsibility and regret for this conduct; after all, we're not the Republican Party, which obviously has no reservations about the fact that their party's nominee is a serial adulterer, and calls his wife a cunt in public. The bigger question is whether there is anything the corporate media won't do to throw the election to their personal hero, John McCain. Why else have they focused on this story so intently, while still refusing to say a word about John McCain's far worse conduct."
See the difference, Dan?

This article contains a truly priceless piece of comic undertstatement, i.e., the following by Stanford technology professor Lawrence Lessig:
"Technology for the Bush administration is a total non-issue, even though that was the thing that drove most growth in 1992 to 2003. And the reason I think he'd be led to that is because [he's] a guy who doesn't understand anything about technology in the first place"(emphasis added).
Expecting George Bush to operate a computer is like putting a pink tutu on a baboon and inviting it to high tea at Windsor Castle with the Marx Brothers.
