#2 as much as I despise former Senator Edwards, it seems to me that a trial would be a waste of taxpayer resources

of course if Edwards refuses to plead guilty to a lower charge, well then, I suppose it will happen

#3 better that he takes the ~~bottle of rye~~ Cosmopolitan and ~~revolver~~ Lady Remington alternative.

Be sure to leave a pretty corpse, Silky, not in the face

#4 Should've used the pirate treasure money or the poor people hedge fund money, Silky. But now ya probably got Elizabeth's life insurance money for a defense fund, so you got that going for you. Sure, that's sleazy, but look who we're dealing with here.
So, looking back, was banging Truck Stop worth it?

#5 I recall something about how the wheels of justice grind slowly...

This is good. It's a visible remember to the credentialed class (as Glenn Reynolds refers to them) that they aren't above the law. Combined with the Dominique Kahn affair in NYC, my hope is that the 'elites' get the message that we the common peasants are always watching them. Don't make us bring back the guillotine.

#6 Iz taint no lawyer but there appears to be at least two possible charges: accepting ILLEGAL donations and then fraudulenty using those donations. Throw in a conspriracy or three, some perjury, and maybe money laudering. Any AUSA worth their salt would have this clown begging for a plea. To paraphrase " We've decided what you are John - now we're just discussing the price."
