John Edwards

He had an affair.

That is all. End of story.

  2. When thinking of sex scandals, my principle is "What would I say if a dirty, stinking Republican had done the same damn thing?" And then I snark away. As I am with Edwards. And I say this as someone who listed Edwards as his second-favourite preznitial candidate, after Kucinich. A dishonourable act like that discredits whoever did it. Except if they're in France...

  3. Well, Bukko, there's some sex scandals more snark-worthy than others. An "I am not gay" Republican found soliciting sex in a public restroom, that's snark-worthy (wouldn't have been snark-worthy if it was openly gay Barney Frank, of course, because he doesn't deny he's gay). A Democrat (or Republican) having an affair with a person of the "correct" sex for his or her sexual orientation? Meh. Gimme something with more meat on its bones, will ya?

  4. Sex scandals make me laugh---so many of them being proof that someone, somewhere is in terror that someone ELSE is having fun. Many of the GOP style "sex" scandals actually involve law-breaking; things like pursuit of happiness with MINORS, for instance. Thus, while I will snark at those, because, you know lawmakers should not be lawBREAKERS; I find worries over adultry other than my own rather boring. Mrs. Edwards surely has her own iron skillet, at need.
