Kiss the VP Goodbye: John Edwards Admits Affair
john-edwards.jpgJohn Edwards, the well coifed former Democratic Presidential nominee, has admitted an extramarital affair. Though he denies fathering his former lover's child.
Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter but said that he didn't love her. He said he has not taken a paternity test but knows he isn't the father because of the timing of the affair and the birth.

I'm not sure there are degrees of adultery, but it sure doesn't help Edwards when the timing of the dalliance coincided with his wife's battle with cancer.

What a dick!

Congratulations Johnny, best penis-related story of the day.

Dang, I missed that reference too.

I did love how John waited to endorse Hilary or Obama until is was all but sown up then announced he is backing Barack. Jon Stewart described it announcing his candidacy for Vice President.

I pulled up the pictures of the chick he was bangin'. I think he could have done a little better than that.
I mean if you are going to be a piece of crap to your wife that is dying of cancer at least hook up with a hot chick so she doesn't feel so bad.
John not only gave up the pity card that he had with the dying wife but he ripped it up and pissed on it like Johnny to a 911 conspiracy theorist.
Now, at all the White house dinners and black tie events, he's gonna have to sit at the Jesse Jackson table. That's gonna suck.

John McCain is probably somewhere laughing his ass off.

Yeah, but then he's shown that footage of himself at the biker rally last week and remembers "Oh, yeah. I'm, looking really stupid out here."

I could not get over that footage. Put your wife in the biker beauty pageant where it turns into a strip tease? Really Senator?

Oh brother. Tip of the day: maybe conducting your extramarital affair the same year you will be under the most scrutiny of your life not such a good idea.

Not that I condone such dalliances at any other time, it's just a value-added stupid human trick to do it now. What really makes me sad, though, is that this means (I know we already knew this but) that a good, smart, nice man with a brilliant wife can still cheat. Thanks John Edwards, for causing yet more acreage in My Little Garden of Childhood Ideals and Expectations to get infested with the cynical parasite of The Way Things Really Are.

Yeah, sorry about that Myrtle. (If that is your real name.)

Now the pundits are accusing Edwards of releasing the news in the Friday evening that the Olympics are starting. Trying to assure the least amount of coverage possible.

It's hard not to think that is probably true.

I'm with Dave on this one, that temptress is damn ugly. Even Kerry had a nicer pussy posse in that picture from a few days ago.

there's a saying here in Puerto Rico that i think applies "in war any hole is a trench" (translated)

We got that here entantao, or close - 'any port will do in a storm'. I thought she was ok. Course the weather may be a tad stormy here.

Furthermore didn't we just go through a little guache behaviour by Kerry? You might want to create a template or macro or whatever. I'm thinking - Politico's Pussy Posse (credit to entantao for the idea).

Lying dirtbag. Hope his wife kicks his ass to the curb. And this guy calls himself a family man. Jackass.

Gee, isn't the Republican candidate known for having dumped his loyal wife for his rich trophy mistress? Guess that's okay, though, because...um...

???

said kitty on August 9, 2008 11:02 PM.

well Kitty the republican candidate did it better, he changed over to a younger rich trophy wife. Edwards just fucked an ugly woman, he messed up.
