where are his defenders now? Fucking scum. Yep, there are two Americas. The problem is that John Edwards' America is a fantasy-land

oooohhhhh man, how could people support a person's politics and not their lude behavior.

I want to live in John Edwards' America!

8/14/2009 11:40:23 AM

This is the most shocking news evar!!!

hah Lumex is right. Its in the first paragraph.

But that doesn't make me any less angry. Nor does it stop me from judging him harshly....

Fucker. At least he didn't get the nomination.

That child is the grandson of a mill worker.

8/14/2009 2:27:54 PM

^hhahahaha

I was hoping I wouldn't ever have to hear that shit again.


Also, fuck this deadbeat for going 18 months without so much as acknowledging his child. That really pisses me off...I've gone through a whole lot of shit to be in my daughter's life. Not even acknowledging your own child is piss-poor and inexcusable.

8/14/2009 2:30:38 PM

it's funny b/c this guy was actually kind of close to having a chance of being president just less than a year ago.

At least he would have gotten an affair out of the way early in his term

8/14/2009 2:36:36 PM

yeah, it's scary to think how dangerously close all varieties of dipshits come to the Presidency.

8/14/2009 2:40:02 PM

The only difference between him and every other politician is he got caught. Whats the big deal anyway? Its not like most Americans don't commit the exact same 'wrongs' as him. This has nothing to do with his politics.

p.s. I neither support or don't support his politics because I don't give a shit. But if i did this would not affect my decision.

8/14/2009 2:47:47 PM

^ I'd like to think that cheating on your wife, especially when she is potentially dying from cancer, says something a bit bigger about your character. And I also hope that "most Americans" don't commit the same wrongs. If you think that's true, or you have such a flippant attitude towards adultery in general, I feel sorry for any wife you may have.

8/14/2009 2:53:58 PM

President's have character? I guess no one told that to JFK. Dude practically hosted orgies in the white house...

He's a politician, who already cheated on his cancer stricken wife. As such, this should barely be a blip on anyone's radar b/c we already know he's scum.

1) I'm not in politics
2) I don't have a 'flippant attitude towards adultery'

I didn't say I did these things...but from my observations of living in the US this is what I've seen. So who are you to cast judgment on him? All you should care about is that he or any politician does his job and does whats right for the people. What goes on behind closed doors is his business. I'm sure you've got quite a few skeletons in your closest too.

I've heard that the figures aren't nearly as bad as you would think, they're just really skewed by people who get divorced 4 times in their life.

8/14/2009 4:59:31 PM

the problem is not that he fucked around, or that he had a child out of wedlock.

the problem is that he held his cancer stricken, dying wife up as a paragon of virtue, implying that by his association with her and their "solid marriage" that he was virtuous, too. ... and not to forget how he lambasted Bill Clinton for lying about his affair.

John Edwards is the worst sort of lying hypocritical scum.

may we never have to hear of him in the public media again.

The guy's a douche, sure, but we're looking at pretty incontrovertible evidence that he is not a faggot. Yes, gay guys have kids, but they rarely cheat on their fake wives to have sex with fake mistresses.

The wolfweb is one of the best places in the world to find shit that is in disgustingly bad taste and hilarious at the same time.

Quote :

FDR cheated on his wife regularly, too.

Really, what Edwards has done is pile on several examples of shitty behavior which, by themselves, I might be able to overlook.

Cheating on your wife? I can live with that. It's really between you and the missus(es).
Having an illegitimate child? Not such a big deal.
Lying about an illegitimate child? Kind of lame, but could easily be outweighed by good public work.
Exploiting your wife's terminal cancer for political gain? OK, even more lame, but when life hands you lemons...

But cheating on your terminal-cancer wife that you exploit in an affair that produces an illegitimate child that you lie about...that makes me certain that you would do absolutely anything and everything to gain power for power's sake. In other words, you're Richard Nixon, except somehow even slimier. No thank you.

Bweez, I think you're thinking of Newt Gingrich who divorced his wife while she was being treated for cancer (and was likely fooling around the woman he would marry 6 months after their divorce). But thanks for illustrating how often you read the paper. j/k

8/17/2009 10:11:49 AM

didn't newt actually serve his wife the divorce papers while she was literally in a hospital bed?

8/17/2009 11:39:23 AM

To me, it's also notable that not only did he get caught, he got caught by the National Enquirer.

Also:


Just a random image of the parents.

Maybe his wife gave him carte blanche to cheat while she was ill.

Agree.

Although I deduct a bunch of points for the lack of a vasectomy and a few more for the lack of discretion.

I've met people who are too stupid to use birth control, people who are too poor to afford birth control, and people who come from communities where it doesn't matter when they have kids or how many they have. But for most people, a certain amount of personal responsibility is expected, and John Edwards totally failed. It's 2009....I think we should be able to get this baby business figured out.

I mean, McCain's story is similar.

8/17/2009 2:52:26 PM

One of my sister's friends worked for his campaign

one night i was pretty drunk and just kept shouting ambulance chaser at her

showed her

8/17/2009 3:01:41 PM

yeah, McCain pulled off something close to that like 25 years ago.




*DISCLAIMER* I, too, hate John Edwards.
