If my wife were to tear her shirt off during an argument, it would be an invitation for make up sex.

I'm pretty sure this was in that book...so...old news? Who gives a fark? Ladies, if your man is on the National political stage and worth millions, assume he's farking someone else in addition to you.

Because he CAN, that's why.

He's a slimeball for cheating on his wife while she was ill and slowly heading toward death from it.

He doesn't hold a candle to Newt Gingrich, who cheated at least twice.

When the news was going around in 2004 that the media was sitting on a story involving a candidate and an affair, I pegged him almost immediately. He's basically every sheister lawyer you've ever seen on steroids, a complete sleazebucket.

NewportBarGuy: This is just such a disgusting story. I'm not reading any more of it. Lock him up and fine the sh*t out of him just for being a horrible human being.

Oh, I'll peek, but I'm keeping it at arms length.

So, numerical count over severity of crime? Two speeding tickets @ 5mph over are worse than reckless in a school zone?

Newt also served his wife with divorce papers while she was in the hospital with cancer. So was was doing a little more than 5 mph over.

If you read Game Change, you see that Elizabeth was not a nice person. At all. Even so she did not deserve to be treated like John treated her.

And as bad a person as he is- a very bad and phony person indeed- I don't think he violated "campaign finance law" and so should be acquitted.

Meanwhile Andrew Young and his wife seem to have stolen a million dollars of the hush money to build their 'dream home.' The biggest crooks of all got immunity to testify against Edwards for a nonexistent crime!

This case is a kaleidoscope of greed and narcissism and insanity. I feel sorry for Edwards's children, but for him and the rest of the hangers on and groupies, I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

FTA: Ms Reynolds said Mrs Edwards had screamed: "You don't see me any more." Then she took off her shirt and bra, exposing herself to her husband in front of his staff, the court heard.

"He didn't have much of a reaction," Ms Reynolds said.

Mrs Edwards had gone through intense treatment for breast cancer before the incident took place.


This part of the article just about brought a tear to my eye. The pain she must have been going through at that moment...incredibly sad. And the bystanders must have been horrified by the spectacle.

Dude, I'm not a Gingrich fan by any means, but the comparison was bunk and so is your data. Sorry. Edwards is on a whole different level of douche-tasticness.

"In 2011 their daughter, Jackie Gingrich Cushman, remembers that it was her mother who requested the divorce, that it happened prior to the hospital stay, and that Gingrich's visit was for the purpose of bringing the couple's children to see their mother, not to discuss the divorce." - Cushman, Jackie Gingrich (May 7, 2011).

Sorry but being a piece of shiat is not a crime and this prosecution will fail. There was no crime. He'll walk.

Luckily - this was probably the Only time Edwards cheated on his wife (she deserved it anyways - amirite?). Oh and it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY the scumbag lawyer fraudulently used campaign funds.

I liked him when they were running but to be totally honest I was just starting to understand/care about politics at that point. I avoided political news like the plague pre-9/11 and only started caring after subsequently joining the Army and watching the wars get started - and farked up.

He also called his mistress and the mother of his child a "crazy slut" while denying he was the father.

Seriously, John Edwards is a pretty fantastic representation of what misogyny looks like. It looks like that.

It's also often in a position of power.

You should read "The Prince". Machiavelli said (according to my reading) that the ruler was essentially a sacrifice to immorality for the good of a society. Edward's lack of reaction was simply good sense. His private life should have no bearing on his political career, its as simple a concept as ad hominem attacks being logical fallacies. You don't know the details of their relationship, unbunch your panties. This account certainly makes her sound like a psychotic moron to me, even if she was wronged. Women should not marry influential or wealthy men and expect fidelity, it is probably the easiest road to heartbreak.

I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that one. He isn't being charged with being a piece of shiat - which, as you said, is not a crime. However, he has been charged with violated federal election laws that limit campaign contributions. He has been charged with failing to accurately report donations (some of which are alleged to have been obtained illegally). And he has been charged with using donated funds to hide his mistress and her pregnancy. Basically, he is accused of using money that was supposed to go towards his campaign to hide/take care of his baby's mama. I think he was indicted on at least five or six counts.

I hate this crap. It's pretty clear that he didn't steal money, and if he had some friends pay for stuff for his girlfriend, who gives a shiat?

Anybody think that it's coincidence that this trial is going to be its seediest right as the national campaigns get underway? No? Didn't think so.

Clinton was a scumbag but a good President. Edwards and Richardson are both scumbags who would have made good Presidents. Being an egotistical sociopath doesn't keep you from being a good President- it's almost a requirement.

That's not at all what he is accused of doing. He accepted money (way more than allowable) from people who believed they were supporting his campaign. Then used their money to instead cover up his affair. That would be like me giving you money under the assumption that you were taking donations for cancer research, and you using it to have a keg party.

If that was true, then you could just stop there. The tawdry stuff would be irrelevant.

Everything I've seen so far was that he was asking people to donate money to his mistress. Those wouldn't be campaign contributions, and I don't see how that's illegal.
