But, But, But, Doesn't his hair look MARVELOUS?
Seriously, I think Salon's low class tactic is to make us all feel morally, ethically and intellectually superior to them, thus increasing the number of hits by improving the self-esteem of all of us who have a sense of smell.
if I read a couple of more articles like that, surely I shall be able to walk upon the waters, heal the lame, restore sight to the blind, raise the dead, and ascend to the heavens in a glowing nimbus.
Uh, maybe I am reading a little too much into Salon, eh?
Maybe not.
The intelligence community, the biggest invisible political entity in the country, routinely figures out ways to sink politicians who are a danger to their power. Take a look at women like Mary Jo Kopechne, Gary Hart's lap-warmer and many of the others. If they can't bribe you or blackmail you or put you in a plane with mechanical problems or stand you in front of a lone nut with a gun, there's always the hootchie cootchie route.
As an historical note, did anyone know that years ago The National Enquirer was created by CIA propagandist Generoso Pope? Just saying.
It's all so depressing, but at least there's a good laugh to be had: the thought of John Edwards reaching climax to this nutcase's whispers of "You're Gandhi. You're Martin Luther King, Jr."
Now THAT's entertainment.
Hunter: "I've come to realize through a lot of experience that men are in fact good for a couple of things. Three things to be specific. Penetration, moving heavy objects and causing enlightenment."
Well, we know what John Edwards penetrated, and he certainly has enlightened this voter with his lies (I voted for him ABSENTEE!! then the schmuck dropped out a few weeks after with no explanation!), but as to the moving of heavy objects?? Let's see....
I guess he was just good for the penetrating and enlightening.
Salon et al was so desperate to feel morally superior over someone (anyone! at all!!) Has this horrid election brought you all so low as to focus on this trivial tripe drivel? Now that is REALLY pathetic. Maybe you all need to get out more? Cary gives pretty good advice; why don't you write him a letter?
This prurient pile of junk belongs in the New Pork Post, not Salon. Goodness, how bored are we that we need this sort of entertainment "journalism" to distract us? I must admit, I read only the first paragraph, but that was enough to convince me that Salon is dipping down into the same muck that the MSM loves to roll around in. Please, set some standards, Salon, and follow them.
With a movie title like "Shit Happens--The Search for the Perfect Diaper", I'm surprised it wasn't David Vitter she was involved with...
I'm glad she didn't meet the Dalai Lama. He's had to meet enough kooks and idiots wanting to be his BFF, though he's such a decent and gracious man he wouldn't describe them that way.
We all know that many politicians fool around on their wives. What makes this story different than most is that Edwards had a baby with this woman. (Let's be honest about that -- it's his kid.) He also has "friends" who have provided Rielle with a multi-million dollar home and $15K a month. Can you say hush money?
None of us have friends who would finance our lover and bastard child. That money has to be coming from Edwards' campaign donations, which is a criminal offense.
If this was just a case of sex, big deal. But when you start funneling millions of dollars to Rielle and the supposed baby daddy Andrew Young, that's another thing. Neither Rielle or Andrew have jobs. They're living off the generosity of Edwards' friends.
If it's true that Edwards' friends are just being generous, ca I meet them? I'd be happy with a $250K home and some money to pay off my credit cards! (Note heavy sarcasm here.)
I found this article most interesting, a tiny glimpse into one unsavory aspect of a (perhaps formerly) well-liked politician and his mistress.
I'm surprised by the number of people, here and elsewhere, who say it shouldn't matter if Edwards is an adulterer. I wholeheartedly disagree. It DOES matter. This man was a presidential candidate, and I wish to forever avoid another Clinton debacle which pretty much stripped the Democrats of the chance to elect a Democratic President in 2000. Now look where we are ! What a mess. Please keep it in your pants, presidents and presidential hopefuls !
I also have to question the judgment of a man who would risk his entire career on what appears to be a casual fling with a "ho". (I wonder if Edwards and Spitzer are comparing notes.) Hunter was, and allegedly still is, getting paid. Edwards will have a giant mess to deal with if the money she's receiving now is campaign money. Where is that campaign film ? What did the Edwards supporters get for their $100k ?
Perhaps those of you who find affairs inoffensive have had them yourselves, or wish to have one, or think that you'll appear less then modern if you don't condone them. But such selfishness should never be condoned. Most affairs are damaging, especially when children are involved. If you are unhappy in your marriage and your spouse does not permit you to have an affair, then be an adult and get a freaking divorce.
He's not actually holding or running for any public office anywhere. Because I'd hate to think that those guys are human. No better we pry under all the rocks of private citizens, cause you know, we're assholes.
Rielle forgot the first and oldest rule about spiritual enlightenment:
Be careful what you wish for.
Sounds like she always wanted to be famous and if you want something bad enough, and you are persistent, you'll get it. That's why you have to be very specific. It's a story as old as Aladdin and the Magic Lamp.
This story pisses off many, but I have to admit, it makes me glad that the truth is out. The naivete of John Edwards in this situation is not a quality people should want in a POTUS. No matter what kind of midlife or personal crisis he may have been going through, they would be nothing to the potential crises a president may face. Now he's in a trick bag. Big statement about judgement.
It strikes me as different from the Clinton scandal, because Monica seemed more the naive one and Clinton remained in a posistion of power in the relationship. At least that's the way it seems from the little I remember of it.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
219 Democrats and one Republican join in favor of the legislation, which passed by a narrow margin
