John Edwards typical scumbag

[enzfan]

All those interviews with him expressing his love and admiration for her while she was battling cancer. All the while he is banging a staffer. He can kiss goodbye any chance of being named Obama's running mate. I see he used the usual politician tatic, lie and deny until it's proven true. He now can be called a typical Clinton democrat.


Edwards admits to affair, denies fathering child By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer



WASHINGTON - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday admitted to an extramarital affair while his wife was battling cancer. He denied fathering the woman's daughter.


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. He said he has not taken a paternity test but knows he isn't the father because of the timing of the affair and the birth.

ABC said a former Edwards campaign staffer claims he is the father, not Edwards.

Edwards was a top contender for the Democratic nomination for president, pursuing his party's nod even after announcing that his wife, Elizabeth, had a deadly form of cancer.

He placed second in the Iowa caucuses last January but dropped out of the race a few weeks later. He has been mentioned as a possible vice presidential choice for Barack Obama. The former North Carolina senator was the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2004.

In 2006, Edwards' political action committee paid $100,000 in a four-month span to a newly formed firm run by Rielle Hunter, who directed the production of just four Web videos, one a mere 2 1/2 minutes long.

Hunter's daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, was born on Feb. 27, 2008, and no father's name is given on the birth certificate filed in California.

The payments from Edwards' One America Committee to Midline Groove Productions LLC started on July 5, 2006, five days after Hunter incorporated the firm in Delaware.

Midline provided "Website/Internet services," according to reports that Edwards' PAC filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Midline's work product consists of four YouTube videos showing Edwards in informal settings as he prepares to make speeches in Storm Lake, Iowa, and Pittsburgh, Pa., prepares for an appearance on "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and travels in Uganda in 2006.

Edwards' PAC paid Midline $100,000 in a four-month span in 2006, and followed that up with two smaller payments totaling $14,461, the last on April 1, 2007

He always struck me as disingenuous and as phony as they come. He can kiss his higher political aspirations goodbye. What a sleaze![:(!] And his poor wife -- I hope she outlives him.

How 'bout some Jarvis Cocker to celebrate:

Well did you hear, there's a natural order?
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say...shit floats

This would be some trick! Though I thought Pete might have put on a couple pounds.

I really feel for Elizabeth Edwards . . . their teenage son dies, so she goes through all kinds of horrible fertility treatments to give birth to two new babies when she is 48 and 50. Then she gets a particularly virulent cancer, probably from all the hormonal manipulation that took place for her to carry these late-in-life pregnancies. (Sorry, guys, I can't seem to stay off the gynecology!)

And it turns out that her husband is banging a younger woman all along--and (presumably) knocking the mistress up, to add insult to injury.

Yeah, isn't that great that Georgia might soon be a member of NATO. An attack on one member state is considered an attack on all. Can't wait to send my sons off to die liberating South Ossetia from Russia. Might even get a nuclear exchange out of the deal.

Good Point. Between this and the possibility of an attempt to improve relations between Russia and Cuba, we may find ourselves in another war pretty easily. See below from the AP this am:

Fighting raged in South Ossetia for a second day Saturday as Russia sent hundreds of tanks and troops into the separatist province and dropped bombs on Georgia that left scores of civilians dead or wounded.

Georgia, a staunch U.S. ally, launched a major offensive Friday to retake control of breakaway South Ossetia. Russia, which has close ties to the province and posts peacekeepers there, responded by sending in armed convoys and military combat aircraft.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters in Moscow that some 1,500 people have been killed, with the death toll rising Saturday.

The figure could not be independently confirmed, but witnesses who fled the fighting said hundreds of civilians had probably died. They said most of the provincial capital, Tskhinvali, was in ruins, with bodies lying everywhere.

Russian military aircraft also raided the Georgian town of Gori on Saturday. An Associated Press reporter who visited Gori shortly after the bombing saw several apartment buildings in ruins, some still on fire, and scores of dead bodies and bloodied civilians. The elderly, women and children were among the victims.

It is the worst outbreak of hostilities since the province won de facto independence in a war against Georgia that ended in 1992.

The fighting threatens to ignite a wider war between Russia and Georgia, which accused Russia of bombing its towns, ports and air bases. Georgia, a former Soviet republic with ambitions of joining NATO, has asked the international community to help end what it called Russian aggression.

It also likely will increase tensions between Moscow and Washington, which Lavrov said should bear part of the blame for arming and training Georgian soldiers.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Saturday that Moscow sent troops into South Ossetia to force Georgia
