I guess John Edwards is off the short list for VP

His explanation doesn't do him much good, either. Yeah, he did her (and apparently was trying to last week) but he doesn't love her and he's sure the child isn't his, but sired by one of his staffers. I suspect there are quite a few who don't demand that a politician keep his zipper shut, but do expect him not to be a cad afterward.

HT to reader Jack Anderson....

He thinks this conduct HELPS him with anyone?
What a blow-dried fool.

I guess he's thinking what he said works better than: "Look, I thought my wife was dying of cancer, and at any rate she didn't feel much like putting out, so I started to look around and find out what my options were. And, you know, there was this wacky blonde bimbo film maker hanging around and I just figured, you know, any port in a storm."

Donald Sensing has a piece (via Instapundit) that describes this illicit affair by saying that if it's not Edward's kid, then she was cheating on him with Edward's staffer while Edwards was cheating on his wife (was the staffer married? How come that's never come out?) -- which I think pretty much sums it up nicely. Throw in a few social diseases and I think we have a representative slice of modern Americana. That is, if Norman Rockwell paintings would have depicted NC-17 rated Democrats who were running for President. (Title: First, we lie. Second, have the press stonewall.)

Now I just have to get my head around the idea that this story was broken by that hotbed of investigative journalism, The National Enquirer, thereby demonstrating they have more credibility and journalistic merit than the Lost Angeles Times (what happens in LA stays in LA) or the New York Times (the national paper of record).

Aw, heck, if space aliens really are stealing our babies, maybe they'll take this one... One unanswered question is how the National Enquirer can ever go back to reporting on Oprah's binge-eating depressions over her weight gain. I mean, they've gone legit now. They coulda' been a contenda'.

And what is the evidence that this won't make Edwards MORE ATTRACTIVE if Hitlery pulls a switch and gets the nom? Hell, he sounds like a proto-type for sick willi. Of course, there is a precedent, Newt Gingrich, "conservative", divorced his cancer striken wife and married the woman he was foolin' around with.

"In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic."

No, John. You've always been that way. This is just when YOU noticed.
