Sad day for me...John Edwards is a sham--Affair?

[hedonis]

It's not like this was a tryst from 20 years ago that is irrelevent today...this fucker was climbing out of bed with his mistress and then heading off on the campaign trail!!!!

I didn't say it was irrelevant, and I certainly don't think having an affair is good character (after all it's the reason I got rid of my cunt ex-wife), BUT

I think a guy having an affair is pretty low down on the list of worldly douchebags, if you include people who fuck or kill children, eh?

[D-rock]

I can't believe it. My faith and trust in politicians has now been forever corrupted. Who could have ever thought they not be totally honest. :1orglaugh

 

[Facetious]

Best Bet - All politicians should be suspect up until the day they leave office, IMO.

It's easier to be a douche bag in Awashington than not.

Really though, think about the abundance of challenges put before "our" politicians.

No way could I live and work in a daily environment where everybody has a price. I'd have to run away, back to the simple life. :thumbsup:

And in some cases, for many years *after* they leave office

 

[titsrock]

And you know something...the hell with his "poverty campaign"...I'm of the mind right now to vote for McCain and MAKE MORE PEOPLE POOR!!!!:thefinger

 

[chrisuncleahmad]

John Edwards you are a scoundrel! I DEMAND YOU LEAVE THIS COUNTRY!!!

:ban::ban::ban::ban:

 

[Facetious]

I was thinking the same exact thing. Are you referring to the pursuit of special interest - lobby work ? :yesyes: never mind

At ease TR ! "They all do it" :1orglaugh:

Barbara boxer said something to that effect about 15 - 20 years ago when she got caught writing a few extra checks out of a soft $$$ fund.

 

[Violator79]

I'm suprised at all you people!!! You're acting like Edwards having an affair is important and hasn't happened before. Hopefully some of you are aware that ALL politicians on every level cheat and it's not a new thing. Look at JFK and Clinton. Even though he never fully told it, JFK had his share of women, and he chose smartly, i.e. Marilyn Monroe. Clinton showed his dick to a government clerk, but Monica's not that bad looking, but there's still a drop-off. As for Edwards, his mistress looks like a man, post-operative man at that. Personally I don't care who cheats and it doesn't affect how these people rule and govern. The one thing that I question is this: if a man is going to cheat, which I'm not in favor of by any means, why cheat with a nasty looking woman? If you have an attractive wife, at least make the mistress attractive, that way people can at least say "he has good taste in women." :2 cents:

 

[titsrock]

The other thing that might make this one different is that not many Pres/Veeps/Pres candidates actually sire nonwedlock children on the campaign trail or while they're in office...

 

[ninetysixcavy]

Why would anyone in their right mind want to be a politician? I just don't understand it. Unless that Bilderberg thing is authentic - some conspiracy - I just don't get it. It's like, :wtf:

I still don't understand why multi multi mutli millionaires want to run the people. I mean, they have all the phucking money in the world; why don't they just go live the good life? Someone explain that to me... :dunno:

IMO, these "politicians" are all, at least most of them, sleazes.

If you want a laugh...read this "statement" from the douchebag's piehole...

"John Edwards' statement
By POLITICO STAFF | 8/8/08 5:16 PM EST

August 8, 2008

Chapel Hill, North Carolina

In 2006, I made a serious error in judgment and conducted myself in a way that was disloyal to my family and to my core beliefs. I recognized my mistake and I told my wife that I had a liaison with another woman, and I asked for her forgiveness. Although I was honest in every painful detail with my family, I did not tell the public. When a supermarket tabloid told a version of the story, I used the fact that the story contained many falsities to deny it. But being 99% honest is no longer enough.

I was and am ashamed of my conduct and choices, and I had hoped that it would never become public. With my family, I took responsibility for my actions in 2006 and today I take full responsibility publicly. But that misconduct took place for a short period in 2006. It ended then. I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established. I only know that the apparent father has said publicly that he is the father of the baby. I also have not been engaged in any activity of any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.

It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic.:1orglaugh If you want to beat me up – feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help.

I have given a complete interview on this matter and having done so, will have nothing more to say."


Geez....this is insulting:anonymous:weeping:

 

[Torre82]

It probably has something to do with trust, commitment and telling the truth to people...or the penchant not to do those things...is an effective President one who lies?:dunno:

An effective leader is one who lies for the better good. People are always looking to you for answers and you cant just say 'I DUNNO!' or 'Your cause is complete bullshit so.. NO!' You have to be nice, because this is nicey-nice america and say "I'll look into it" or put the issue off to the side. Sheesh, who gives a shit what people do in their personal lives? The best leaders are the ones with the rockiest backgrounds. The best leaders are the ones who DONT WANT TO BE in charge. The best motherfuckers in this whole world.. are the ones with flaws and defects like every other bastard on this planet and your beliefs are shattered by someone getting his dick wet?!? ::shakes head:: Superficial friggin' american. EVERYONE IS IMPERFECT AND DOES SOME QUESTIONABLE SHIT! Doesnt mean they're any less qualified than the dickhead in office now, or the twat before that.. and so on.. and so friggin' forth. Grow up.

Well said!!:thumbsup: Except for maybe the part that people are best for jobs who don't really want them.But the rest is DEAD ON.:bowdown:

 

[chrisuncleahmad]

Talk about making Mt. Everest out of a molehill...

 

[Nooge]

It's not that he cheated ... it's that he's stupid. Again ... he was so stupid to think he could do this and not get caught. And when he did get caught ... he should have said ... "Ah well it's between me and my wife ... get over it." But he didn't do that - he lied again to cover it up. That is ... until someone had to throw the evidence in his face that proved to him he was busted.

So he can slip his stiffy anywhere he wants ... I don't care. But the dude is stupid. I would also argue that if he was going to be that stupid - he should have done it with someone a lot more attractive. He blew an opportunity ... more evidence that he's stupid.

Good thing he didn't get the Democratic nomination huh? I mean seriously - the convention is like next week isn't it?

Wonder if Hillary will make a play for his delegates!

The jury would like to call all the ex girlfriends and sex partners of Mr. Nooge to the stand to judge their 'attractiveness'. The prosecution would like to admit this bottle of 'wank cream' as exhibit A that Mr. Nooge has gotten way more hand than poon, your honor.

 

[brother212]

It doesn't make him a bad guy because he cheated. It makes him human. He didn't kill anybody. He didn't rob a liquor store or a Korean deli. He just made love to a woman. Who was not his wife. It might be a bad thing for her and her family but not the nation. Or anyone else outside of his family. This behavior has been going on since the beginning of time. And it will go on until the end. Because it's human. As normal as farting. Because if you don't fart, you'll blow your damn brains out. That's why even clergy-people cheat. It's human. Notice I said people and not clergymen. Because women cheat too. I still say that Senator John Edwards is an honorable man.

I must be the second coming of Rip Van Winkle to ponder the idea that fuckups are running the country and that it's the norm to be a fuckup.:dunno:

Isn't the average of people in any walk of life that cheat on their wifes like 50%? Don't expect politicians to not be just like everybody else is what he is saying.And as a person with a bad rep and background who still accomplished good things for the people he represented I would offer Jimmy Hoffa.No matter what you say about him being connected to the mob etc he still got the teamsters some great contracts from the companies.I would take Jimmy if I was a teamster any day of the week over some nice well meaning goodie goodie who didn't get me higher wages and benefits.And as a teamster that would be all I cared about.I would not care a smidgen who he had sex with and how many illegitamate children (if any) he had.

 

[Nester6]

Edwards is was and always will be a FUCKING PHONY> YES< IT DOES MATTER. A man who's wife is dying of cancer and is betrayed has no place running the greatest country on earth. Barak Huessin Obama would be another disaster for this country.
By the way, Clinton lied under oath. Perjury. The greatest scumbag of all.
