The Return of John Edwards
Wall Street journal ^ | 11-11-08 | Susan Davis

Posted on 11/11/2008 8:02:58 PM PST by dynachrome

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards will make his first public appearance since admitting in August that he had an extramarital affair while pursuing his party’s nomination.

The Associated Press reported that Edwards will appear tonight at Indiana University to discuss the 2008 election and participate in a question and answer session.

“Edwards will dissect the general election results and forecast how they will affect the state of political discourse, the American economy and the plight of working families,” a release from the university states, “He will also weave stories from his experience running for president into his analysis, describing what it’s like to be a major presidential candidate in today’s accelerated political and media environment.”

“First question? Yes, from the back there.”

“Yes, Mr. Edwards, I am just curious to know what it’s like to be a smarmy weasel...”

Why did Indiana Un. invite this whoremonger? They should have entitled his talk “Why I Don’t Have Any Family Values, or It’s Just a Democrat’s Tradition”.

What a POS!

Any idea how much the philandering ambulance chaser is being paid for his warmed over “Two Americas” blather?

“He will also weave stories from his experience running for president into his analysis.”

Well, out of all of the topics mentioned in this story, I would say Edwards is most qualified at “weaving stories”.

Oh! Mr. Edwards; Mr. Edwards, I’ve had my hand up for many minutes. I’m here in the blue sweatshirt on the left.

“For the girl in the blue sweatshirt on the left!”

“Oh, Mr. Edwards thank you for coming to our campus and for calling on me!

Did she, like, well, did she, ah, did she accept your manhood as you wished, or did you have to force it on her?? If so, how hard was it to force your pretty self upon her??”

1) Shouldn't he make this announcement on Maury Povich's show?
2) Obama's new Secretary of Gettin' Some
3) Changing his name to Barack Edwards in honor of the coup
4) He's going to talk about the Two Americas: The Haves and the Wealthy and how they will both pay
5) Will be accepting new position as Al Gore's chauffeur

I think BHO should make Edwards a deal: The good news would be, he’d get to work in gov’t again. The bad news is, he’d be working under Barney Frank!

Edwards has about $16 million invested in Fortress Investment Group funds...

Edwards worked for Fortress, a publicly held private-equity fund, from late 2005 through 2006

“Senator Edwards, how do you sleep at night after what you’ve done to your wife as she battles terminal cancer? Or does your mistress’s baby crying keep you up?”
