As long as we elevate stories like this to the top of the news cycle for days and weeks on end, we deserve whatever we get. When honest but fallible folks end up in situations where their pants are down around their ankles in public, hypocritical wingnuts will mount the pile of naked bodies to slither their way to the top of our political discourse. And I guaran-godamn-tee you the holier than thou slimeballs are invariably the ones who lead the charge to oust the Edwards' of our political culture. They pretend to hold their noses as they wriggle their way into the orgiastic pile of flesh, begging god to forgive them for getting so excited about doing the Lord's Work. They truly are the scummiest hypocrites ever to thrust their embarrassing little organs of corruption up our collective orifices. It may feel good but they scourge their flesh for days in repentance before searching out another avenue of righteous release. The Lord's Work never ends, but they are always up for another grapple with that ol' debil. It might feel really really really good, but they say the magic words after every orgasm and all is forgiven.
