Edwards admits to extramarital affair

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/08/edwards.affair/index.html

Jesus at least Bill had some taste.

I am taking bets on who Obama will cheat on Michelle with? Oprah? Rosie O'? Or will Michelle just go ape shit and knock the white house down in one massive punch.

not to play the left/right game, but do you have a running count on republicans who cheat on their wives with men?

No, feel free to make a thread about it though.

i think someone beat me to that

interesting story though. I dont see why some people think it makes a candidate any worse. Hell, I like a person with some perversion to them, I don't want a president who isn't having kinky sex with all kinds of people

I feel bad for his wife. Finding out her husband is off cheating on her while she is dieing of cancer.

Obama would never cheat on Michelle.

He's too scared of her.

He isn't the first and he won't be the last. But yeah I agree Clinton did have some taste. As for if Obama will cheat, he may already have and won't come out until he gets into office. The only person who will sleep with Oprah and that will be Michelle Obama, providing Gail King agrees to it.. 😆 😆 😆

she may not be that hot, but she certainly wouldnt the typical thugly first lady like we've seen for the past....well...forever. i guess jakie-o wasnt that bad...then again she was no barbara bush. i bet barbara gives epic head.

I haven't heard Mr. Edwards listed on any of the supposedly-short lists of VP possibles. But I do laugh at how every Republican in the cuntry is trying to attch this story with Obama by saying that his presumptive VP has been caught in a cheating scandal. Furthermore, I don't see how this is any of our business. Mr. Edwards never carried the flag for a vote against extra-marital affairs being made illegal. If this chick were a dude and he'd spent the last 10 years de-crying homosexuality while engaging in it's practice, then I could understand why it's anyone's business. This is about as much our business as Mr. Clinton's extra-marital affairs were our buisness.

It's not news just because he cheated on his wife, its news because he's very anti deadbeat dad/baby's daddy, and Rielle Hunter has an illegitimate two-year-old child. He claims not to be the father, and is even willing to take a paternity test to prove it. That choice speaks for his character and I hope for his sake the kid isn't his. And if he speaks at the DNC, the song playing as he takes the stage should be "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson.

It's also news because the National Inquirer first broke this story 10 months ago, but the news giants scoffed it off as tabloid crap. But lo and behold, the tabloid was right.

I didn't mean that she was bad looking, I think Michelle is a decent looking woman.

I just mean that she seems to be a pretty strong lady. Like, if she found out he was cheating on her, she'd smack him or something.

And I agree with Devil King. This really is none of our business. I mean, he came clean and told his wife over a year ago about this and she's forgiven him, and that's the only person who he's responsible for telling. The gossiping public really isn't his responsibility.

1999 comment made by Edwards on the whole Clinton mess
"I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his daughter", "It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen"

What a hypocrite! I wonder what Bill Clinton has to say about the whole thing.

Anyways, all this situation must be extremely frustrating for Mrs.Edwards. She forgave him in 2006 and as a family matter they wouldve wanted to put this behind them, only to have the media reveal the whole thing to the nation. Its a sad time for her.

Dog-gone, half-witted, inbred dixicrat. He can kiss that vp slot goodbye.

Which will be the one fact the right ignores when connecting him with Obama in some manner. He came clean.

right, ok, now thats this is out of the way, who is going to tell me what my next business is? 🙄

See, I can appreciate that you think it's the same thing. But if he's willing to take a paternity test and he's not the father, then he isn't being a hypocrit, as those many, many republicans queers are being.

Do you think it was ignored because he's not the father? I heard Mr. Oreilly say that the other night; I think you've been tuning in to the factor. You're a closet republican, aren't you?
