Now that the “Clinton got a blowjob” thing has almost finished running its course a decade later, thanks for not only reviving but indelibly cementing the stereotype of the philandering Democrat politician. What would Fox news do without this gift that apparently just keeps on giving? Oh, and the wife with cancer thing was just the cherry on top. I hope Jesse cuts your nuts off, asshole.
A team of comedy writers could not pen better stuff. This ranks up there with, “The bitch set me up.”
Um…link? Cite? Anything?
Helms? Ventura? Jackson?
Edwards has admitted that the National Enquirer story is half true.
Yea, “Well, OK, I was fucking around on my terminally ill wife, but damnit I didn’t father that baby!” Makes a world of difference.
True enough, and I’m not sure that I believe the half-denial anyways.
Imagine if Edward’s and Obama’s vote totals were switched. Democrats would be happy that their system allowed for superdelegates to override the will of the people.
How do you feel about a guy who fucks around on his wife because she gets crippled in a car crash, and then ditches her for a beer heiress half his age?
Well, you can tell he’s a Democrat. It’s a woman he had sex with.
Or a guy who divorces his depressed wife and marries an older condiment heiress!
We could go on all night.
Can you imagine what would have happened if he won the nomination? This would’ve destroyed the democratic party’s chances of winning. I mean, how dumb do you have to be to risk that? I can’t believe he even dared run as a pre-candidate.
Nope. There was no adultery in that one. He didn’t meet wife 2 until long after he was split up with wife 1. This is a stupid tu qoque anyway. I don’t care about any of them. Conservatives are the ones who are picking and choosing.
The actual father is Andrew Young? How could the Enquirer confuse the paternity?
Clinton survived it.
In all seriousness:
a) It was the National Enquirer who leaked the story, not FoxNews.
b) John Edwards is no longer a Presidential candidate, so who gives a crap?
c) Except for Mrs. Edwards, who has enough freaking stress in her life right now than having to deal with all this crap. I don’t know if he really confessed months ago or not. But the reporter who cracked this story must have the compassion of a scrub brush to continue pursuing this story.
d) If Edwards had ANY inclination towards make another bid for Presidency, his errant penis ended that. Hope the piece of ass he grabbed was worth it.
And an adult.
In fact he doesn’t hold any political office, does he? I don’t see why anyone gives a shit. This is not news. It’s gossip.
(since we’re gossiping, by the way :), shame on him for cheating on his terminally ill wife)
Well some (like yours truly) had been holding out hope that he’d be a VP possibility, though he did rule it out months ago. This pretty much fucks that up and possibly a future run as well. What a moron.
In the article he claims Elizabeth’s known about this since 2006. FWIW.
Yup. I’m so goddamn disappointed in him. Anyone can make a mistake, but to be so simultaneously reckless and callous when his wife’s sick (though I think this was before her recent bad diagnosis) and when he was gearing up for a presidential run is just a shocking amount of idiocy.
I really like him as a politician, in general, with a lapse or two; throughout the campaign he remained staunchly focused on the poverty issues dear to his heart. He can still do good, of course, and other politicians have been cheaters and risen above it (so to speak). Still, except for Clinton, few Democrat pols can get away with the crappy behavior that their Republican counterparts seem to pull off effortlessly. Which is ironic considering the conservatives always say they’re such sticklers for squeaky clean morals, don’tcha know.
He’s no Clinton, he wouldn’t survive this, IMO.
There’s a chance he could have been chosen as a vice presidential candidate, so it’s not completely un-news. Like I said before, it would’ve hurt his and, if picked for ViP, Obama’s chances at the White House. And frankly I’d like Obama to have better not worse chances to win.
