#1 Heck, it worked for Clinton. Why are people pissed at him, I don't get it?

#2 Because Hillary didn't have a terminal disease and Clinton didn't get anyone pregant, as far as I know. Edwards is still possibly lying about being the father.

Clinton already had power and was at the top for many years. Attempts were made to impeach him, even though they failed.

Edwards has no power and seems quite pathetic, so now he's being supressed and will never make it any higher.

#3 I'm so disappointed in Edwards. I thought he was just a trial lawyer who made his money cheating the taxpayers. I'm SHOCKED! SHOCKED! that he would cheat on his wife.

#5 Many are bitter and disillusioned after swallowing his lies

Wait till they discover Sasquatch is a media fabrication.

#6 Elizabeth isn't faring much better since his confession noted that he told her about the affair in 2006 and she kept quiet about it, even (or especially because) though he was running for POTUS (or VP or AG) and had to know it would eventually come out. Perhaps she's a little more ambitious and enabling than her MSM image?

#7 You people need to read more on the facts regarding when Elizabeth found out about the affair - PEOPLE magazine date 8/25/08. Edwards had already announced he was running for President before Elizabeth CONFRONTED John about having an affair. John continued lying to Elizabeth about everything including that he had not ended the affair. Stop beating the wife up. John and Rielle are guilty of the affair - the wife is usually the last to know. Besides men WILL ALWAYS LIE FOR A PIECE OF A$$!

#9 "Not guilty by reason of insanity, Your Honor. I'm jus' CRAZY about that stuff!"

At least Lisa Jo was old enough to legally consent.

#10 "Dialing for Pity" Don't the Johnnie (and his beard) realize that pity and contempt are two sides to the same base coin?

#11 Democrat Convention Morality:

The Democrats have suddenly developed a keen sense of morality. John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the Democratic convention for having an affair and lying about it.

In his place Bill Clinton will be speaking.
