#1 Edwards told ABC News that he lied repeatedly about the affair with a 42-year-old woman but said that he didn't love her.

"I wuz jus bangin' her fer fun."

#4 "he lied repeatedly about the affair with a 42-year-old woman but said that he didn't love her"

Now that just might piss her off enough to start talking to the press (through a good attorney, of course). Presuming it's really his kid (pretty good presumption right about now), she can take a rich arrogant guy like that to the cleaners for child support.

What I can't figure is why Andrew Young's wife puts up with this crap (either way) - she on the short end of a pre-nup or something?

#5 Obamessiah not available for comment... out of town, he and Pelosi planned his vacation months, no years ago. The vacation had nothing to do with Breck Boy's news release of course. Just a coincidence Edwards wasn't listed on the donk convention speaking agenda.

#6 Take him off the short list for BO's Supremes pick(s). He may still qualify for AG in a Dem regime.

#7 Jeez, she is some kinda new age spiritual advisor to the campaign, banging the candidate and staff too? Was she lifting their spirits and relieving their stress?

Man, maybe I should become a Democrat if the women are that easy!

#9 The funniest thing I heard on NPR was a journalist explaining the Edwards-pluking-an-intern story with a sympathetic spin, of course. At one point the journo indirectly quoted Edwards as saying
"I was 99% honest [about the affair]!".

#10 Too bad Hillary isn't running, it would make a great campaign commercial;

Voice-over: It's three AM in the morning, a phone is ringing in the White House.
Edwards: Hello, it's John. The press just found out I was cheating on my wife. What am I going to do?! ...
Voice-over: Only one candidate has the experience to deal with this kind of crisis ...
