Edwards Furious ABC Broke Affair Story Before 'Nightline' Aired By Noel Sheppard Created 2008-08-10 10:32
John Edwards is apparently furious with ABC News for releasing information concerning his affair with former campaign staffer Rielle Hunter before "Nightline" aired Friday evening.
In fact, it appears the reason Edwards agreed to the interview was in the hopes that Americans would be so involved in watching the Olympics his confession would go largely unnoticed.
Such was reported [1] Saturday by Broadcasting & Cable (photo courtesy AP):
Edwards had hoped to control the news cycle by making his admission late on a Friday night when the country was watching the Olympics and the long weekend yawned ahead.
According to multiple sources, Edwards was apoplectic that ABC News broke the story on its website and began promoting it early on Friday, giving the rest of the media a chance to play catch-up and cite ABC News’ report. (Representatives for Edwards did not return a call or e-mail for comment.)
I guess when the media sycophantically treats you like an objection of affection, it's easy to assume you'll be able to control them.
I wuss he would just go away
Sorry Silky Pony, it’s out of your control now....
What a crybaby. I still find it hard to believe he was able to find more than one woman in his lifetime to have sex with him.
“edwards furious”
how tiresome. another furious democrat. (don’t they ever get tired of being furious and outraged?)
Speaking for Michelle: boo freaking hoo...
Trying to lock the barn door after the Silky Pony has left....
Then again, if he'd had his priorities straight all along, he wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.
“another furious democrat”
in the same category as “offended Muslim.”
A Democrat can’t believe the MSM wouldn’t carry his water, as usual.
Just a small clue to the breathtaking arrogance of this phoney thug...upset that the media didn’t bow to his wishes!! Think maybe the left is slightly out of control with its cheerleading/protective MSM agency??
He can no longer deny that the affair happened, so he gets angry at the messenger.
He tries to deflect attention from the actual ‘incident’ — the affair — by trying to making the messenger (the media) the object of attention.
He also tried to create a moral equivalence deflection by implying that McCain has a similar history of extra-marital involvement.
These are just attempts to try to deflect attention away from him and his affair on to some other incident or person. They usually don't work.
“in the same category as ‘offended muslin’”
lol
I’ll bet he’s hiding out in his bathroom practicing his “pouty” look for the cameras
Yes they did. You have to wonder what they have on the crack-smoking homosexual Obama.
I thought that graphic was a joke. It’s not! He really was Father of the Year in 2007. Big LOL.
I’d forgotten about that. Makes their little internal memo all the more disingenuous, doesn’t it?
This guy is so utterly out of touch with reality, it's really scary that he ever got the VP spot on one of the Big Two parties' ticket. Kerry's pretty out of touch with reality too. And that election was too close for comfort.
boo-freakin’-hoo.
This revelation reveals the depths of depravity to which Mr.Edwards has plummeted. Deploy you chute Mr. Edwards, tell the whole truth, nothing but he truth.
that is exactly what I think as well. In fact I bet you he is still telling his mistress that as soon as his wife dies he plans to marry her. Elizabeth may have a few years left, who knows but I bet Rielle is hoping her death comes soon so she can be Mrs. Edwards. But I bet John John doesn’t ever put a ring on her finger!
He didn't "plummet" to this level of depravity. He was always at this level.
He should sue them.
After all - it's apparant they had some kind of a deal to protect him from exposure.
Yep. Wouldn’t even surprise me if he tried to satisfy her ticking biological clock, expecting his next family would be waiting for him under the radar.
ROFLMAO!! Those are some great photo-shopped graphics! All good humor has an element of truth, what a hoot! More, more!
ROFLOL! Now let me get this straight, a man that can even control where his ____ goes thinks he can control the news cycle?
OPPPSSS can= can’t
Suppose you're on a game show, and you're given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?
“Furious with ABC”...Call it misdirected anger!
He has only himself to blame, so he should be furious at himself.
Now he wants his spin machine to clean his dirty laundry....
Ah geez, too funny, LOL!!!!!
What is a furious Edwards? is he going to hit ABC with his purse or throw a high heel at them.
