Yeah well, wake me up when the grand jury charges Edwards for embezzlement or something.

Hunter was the perfect test case for tart reform.

Edward's should have stuck to ambulance chasing and not skirt chasing.

This is the kind of thing we've been told is irrelevant, though, by the Clintonistas.

It makes for interesting checkout line reading, and nothing more. We're not to surmise anything of the fact that this bimbo was shacking up with the man who was almost president, and who won the support of millions of Americans--including Paul Krugman, if memory serves--while his wife was fighting back breast cancer.

Matter of fact, from what I hear of Elizabeth Edwards, who can blame him?

Would you rather a President who could get laid in a Convent or one who couldn't in a Brothel?

"This is the kind of thing we've been told is irrelevant, though, by the Clintonistas."

The left has been just as tough on Edwards, probably more so, as the right has been. Name someone out there defending him....

Don't know why. How is what Edwards did any less egregious than Clinton?

The left was hard on Edwards for only one reason: because two of their other darlings--Obama and Hillary--were in the race. Only reason. Had he been the nominee and current president, you would have reverted to the "nothing to see here, please let's all move on."

Edwards got caught BEFORE winning the election. See Gary Hart.

When this guy was running for president, I was scared to death that Americans would be conned by his smooth looks and mouthings---could see through this guy like knife cuts through butter---he was almost as smooth as "ole" Bill. You can't trust people like this. In comparison, 2 positives of Obama: 1. His seemed devotion to his wife 2. His donation history to charities.

Or "character doesn't matter"---when will we get a clue?

Not me, I trusted Americans to see that, underneath it all, Edwards was just another litigator with good looks and nice suits.

Thank you for acknowledging that about Obama. People who make a big deal out of the lousy character of some politicians should also recognize the opposite.

Edwards dropped out January 2008 after losing in Iowa. The rumors had nothing to do with his loss.

RiR, what Clinton did and what Edwards did are two totally different things. Edwards was funneling cash to this woman, Clinton lied about an affair.

Oh. So it was when Edwards starting writing checks to pay for his child that a line was crossed?

I guess I don't get it. But I don't care much. Hillary is a snake, and so is Elizabeth. I can't blame either Bill or Edwards. There but the grace of God go I, and all that.

That said, there's that little matter of the alleged rape. The Juanita Broadrick episode. That's one of those things that used to get the feminists upset, until they decided to check their self-respect and relevance at the door for the next thirty years. Wasn't that funny to watch? The guy is married to one of feminism's great champions, and they had to sit still, quietly, while she was run through the mud every night for years?

Amazing what you can get away with, if you're pro-choice. Bob Packwood must be kicking himself.

"Don't know why. How is what Edwards did any less egregious than Clinton?"

Edward's wife is suffering from cancer.
Edwards fathered a child.
Edward's affair was not a short period of poor judgement.
Edward's girlfriend did not plot to have an affair with him as Lewinski did.
Taxpayers did not spend $70,000,000 to find out about Clinton's affair.

BTW, Republicans in Congress have already been talking about the investigations they will conduct against Obama should they manage to get a majority.
Expensive, destructive fishing expeditions is what you will get if you elect Republicans.

Taxpayers did not spend $70,000,000 to find out about Clinton's affair.

Huh? We spent tons to get every detail there was about Clinton's affair where the media brought down Edwards and didn't cost us a dime.

Sounds like a description of Newt Gingrich while he was railing about 'moral values' trying to take out Clinton.

Except Gingrich did leave his cancer addled wife for the floozy.

"Huh?"

I sort of got that sentence wrong. Duh.

Edward's wife is suffering from cancer.

or we could say she is being treated for cancer.

Edwards fathered a child.

true, he could have taken the liberal "choice" on that one. problem solved.

Edward's affair was not a short period of poor judgement.

Clinton has been a known cheater for decades. Furthermore, Edwards should have waited till in office as POTUS before doing shit like this. yeah, Clinton should get a pass for that too on the subject of "poor judgement".

LOL

Edward's girlfriend did not plot to have an affair with him as Lewinski did.

weak deflection. Clinton was "trapped" and "pursued".

Taxpayers did not spend $70,000,000 to find out about Clinton's affair.

I know you meant that the other way.

For a white girl, Rielle Hunter is kinda hot

"true, he could have taken the liberal "choice" on that one. problem solved."

That is not the liberal position on abortion at all, the woman could have made that choice not Edwards. She chose not to.

"Clinton should get a pass for that too on the subject of "poor judgement"."

I don't think most of us wanted him to get a "pass" but still thought impeachment was certainly not indicated either and was simply the use of that process for partisan politics. If the Rethugs get the chance they'll do the same to Obama.

"Clinton has been a known cheater for decades."

So were many or even most of our former presidents.

-So were many or even most of our former presidents.

Bonzo's tell-all book was suppressed.

How did that guy get elected???

That picture is hilarious!

I doubt it. One of the most intelligent things . . . see, isn't that funny? I was about to say it was one of the intelligent things Obama has done, but I'm hard put to come up with another. So let me start again.

The only intelligent thing Obama has done is pick for himself a Vice President who is so stupid, such a hack, such a disaster every time he opens his piehole--that it would be recklessly irresponsible for anyone to deliver the welfare of our nation into his hands.

-How did that guy get elected???

By promising missiles for hostages and a deal not to release them until after the election.

He was running against Jimmy Carter. Anyone would have.

So RisR is actually saying that Al Gore would have been a decent replacement for Clinton. I always thought so but I'm a little surprised he would agree.

How did that guy get elected???

He promised tax cuts for the wealthy, took money for social programs and allocated it to wasteful defense spending further increasing the deficit and creating a false sense of security, and was consistently bent over for Falwell and Robertson.

In reality though, the one thing Obama has done which will cause some Republicans to not want to investigate and impeach him is his unwillingness to pursue charges, etc. against Bush and Cheney.

Everyone got tax cuts, and not a single social program was cut.

A lot of Jimmah voters on this thread. Mondale voters, too, I would assume. Again, clearly a minority represented here. That helps to explain why there is so much dissonance here between the enthusiasm for Big O, and not much anywhere else.

Danni,

the comparison was Clinton to Gore. your list was a comparison of those 2.

Rielle Hunter doesn't help her credibility with the sexy photo spread. But she does look a lot more attractive than all the previous photos floating around, so mission accomplished.

not a single social program was cut

Where did I say they were cut? What he did was drastically reduce their funding in favor of military spending.

Everyone got tax cuts

When you look at the numbers in retrospect it is easy to see who benefitted the most from those tax cuts.

He benefitted from an inept Jimmy Carter, an Iran out to rub dirt in Carter's face (and Reagan in-turn rewarded the Iranians) and a failed assassination attempt.

With all that said, politics in the 80's was much different that it is today. Tip and Ronnie were cordial to the extent of friendly, you don't see that anymore today. Today people are more like you, RiR: advesarial to a fault.

I just loved Johnny's hair. I was like, Oh my God! it's like perfect! -Rielle

She got a really good look at it when he went down on her, which is allegedly what was recorded.

Johnny likes clam chowder? I'll bet it's been awhile.

Ugh, I just gagged. I wonder if Elizabeth suspected anything when he came home with hair in his teeth.

Edwards mistress not gagging anymore, Giving lip service all day long.

then an Ophra whinney book tour. make hay while the sun shines.

Good God, this woman is a sad piece of trash. The whiny self-justification is bad enough, but the demi-porn GQ shots of her cuddling her kid's toys (and her kid) while half-naked are tacky beyond belief.

I don't blame John Edwards so much for the affair (a lot of men stray; it's the way it is, and the way it will always be) but for the trailer-park classlessness with which he - and Hunter - have conducted themselves.

How did that guy get elected???

That picture is hilarious!

Not often you see a picture of Ronnie feeding Dubya....

The only intelligent thing Obama has done is pick for himself a Vice President who is so stupid, such a hack, such a disaster every time he opens his piehole--that it would be recklessly irresponsible for anyone to deliver the welfare of our nation into his hands.

Could say the same thing for Cheney picking Dubya as his running mate, yet you voted twice for Dubya, a guy who makes Biden look like Einstein, in spite of that disaster every time George opened his pie hole deal.

This just gets better.

Now Hunter is all upset because she thinks the GQ photos are "repulsive":

P.S.: If you read the Daily News story, be sure to take a look at the comments. If Rielle cried for two hours over the photos, the plain-spoken assessments of Hunter's character and looks from readers should have her in tears for the rest of the week.

Heh.

Let's see..Edwards screwed Rielle...
Obama screwed and continues to screw America...
can't make this stuff up..!!!

That would be Reagan and Bush who created 90% of our national debt.

That would be Bush II and the GOP Congress who left us with over a TRILLION a year in unfunded liabilities.

What f'ing planet are all you right wingers from?

Anyone else remember when fucking marrried people wasn't cool?

the woman could have made that choice not Edwards. She chose not to.
