A Democrat lying? John Edwards, come on down!

"Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate; In ABC News Interview, Edwards Says He Cheated, but Did Not Father Child"

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extra-marital affair with a novice film-maker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 42-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her.

Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test.

Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby's birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father.

Must have been his winning smile...

The criminal Bush administration is also to blame for this, comrades! Karl Rove fertilized her in vitro with semen Senator Craig collected from Edwards in the men's room!

George:

Perhaps one should also pay attention to the Russia-Georgia War. It seems that Israel is involved ...

Good old liberals....every hair in place during TV speeches...But after 5:30 PM, some R&R.
Did he do a threesome with his bubby Hunter who claims to be the Daddy?...or did Edwards get some before?---or after Hunter?

Couldn't Edwards find something better than a middle-aged white-trash skank with dyed blond hair? Bill Clinton wouldn't touch that. Monica Lewinsky was a 22-year-old Jewish princess when he had an affair with her.

Damn, mulatica! That's exactly what I said about Cindy McCain when I read McCain's biography a few years ago.

But, seriously, fuck this guy. He was ready to absorb the anti-HRC vote while knowing this story was about to break. I don't give a damn who he fucks. But his lack of principle and disregard for political consequences makes Obama look like George Washington.

I give him credit, at least he cheated with a woman, not like the Republicans who like their boys on the side.

Ahh... Hello, McFly, anybody in there? Camaguey, you don't read much do you? Ever heard of Barney Frank? His boyfriend ran a gay bordello in his basement. Or Governor McGreavy? Hired his lover as his assistant. Gary Studds? The House pages? What party did these guys belong to? One guess: it starts with a "D". Next time, do a little research before opening your yap.

Hey Thinwhiteduke: Your ignorance is obvious. Cindy McCain has no comparison to the uneducated hillbilly white trash that Edwards irresponsibly knocked up like a high school boy. Read Cindy's bio and you'll see that she was raised in an affluent family, has an M.A. degree, is a millionaire businesswoman and philanthropist. No comparison to Edwards' mistress.

Doesn't matter. Edwards' mistress was a campaign aide who directed several videos -- hardly a fool. I'm using your description: "middle-aged white-trash skank with dyed blond hair." Watch out: a stranger to this site would confuse you for a latte-drinking liberal who condescends to Middle America.

Besides, what's education got to do with it -- flesh is flesh, no?

George: I wouldn't say much about the GOP's record on homosexuality if I were you. I'd be a lot more comfortable joining the party if (a) it didn't antagonize me for even mentioning that, hey, civil unions are a good idea and should be openly supported, thanks (Ros-Lehtinen is the exception) (b) it didn't make me feel ashamed for believing that loving a man made me simultaneously unable to believe in smaller government and accountability.

In the tradition of Democratic presidential candidates ~ Bill Clinton, Jessie Jackson, and John Edwards: leadership, honesty, family values ...

Even the lefty blogs are having big time problems with Edwards and some laughs at his expense. One says the Enquirer got pictures of Edwards' alleged love child complete with a $400 hair cut. Ba dump bump.

More seriously, how could this clown run for President knowing that kind of baggage would certainly come out if he were the nominee? Not just bad judgement, but greedy, selfish, and arrogant judgement.

It also calls into question his wife's judgement too, her tragic disease nothwithstanding. She campaigned for him knowing this stuff. Talk about ducking into a left hook. She deliberately exposed herself and her family to this kind of scrutiny, not as badly as her husband, but if I were her I would have said: "Waddya nuts runnin' when you had an affair 2 years ago?"

Finally, Edwards made Obama and Clinton do back flips to try to get his support knowing this affair would get out. Arrogant to the end.

The Dems finally caught up with the Repubs on cheating on a sick wife as Gingrich did when he had divorce papres served on his first wife while she was in a hospital.

It a dubious distinction.

And finally on a day there are Russian tanks rolling and the Chinese are holding the White House press plane and restricting internet access, I am not sure that what Edwards did, no matter how stupid, should be the lead news story.

All that cuteness and nice-hairness wasted on that guy - ;)
