Bigger question is whether he actually did anything more than just a dinner.

AARON BROWN, HOST: Good evening again, everyone.
We begin tonight with a confession: I dated John Edwards' wife. Well, not dated like plural, dated like singular. We went out to dinner. Well, we didn't actually go out to dinner. We went to a dinner, just the two of us -- and 2,000 other people.

It was one of those correspondents dinners in Washington where you get all gussied up in a tux and pretend to enjoy yourself, and she was my date. Everyone brings a date to these things. Greta brought Ozzy Osbourne, but I'm not that cool, so I asked Mrs. Edwards.

She was great. She was smart and funny and down to earth. We talked a little politics, a little about living in the public eye. Her husband's presidential campaign had just ended. We talked a lot that night about child rearing.

No one votes for a president based on the vice presidential candidate's wife. Darn few vote for president based on the vice president at all. I know I don't. But when my daughter asks me if I know Senator Edwards, I'll smile and say, "Not really, but I dated his wife."

And did you hear Kerry say today "...and we have better hair." LOL

I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the radio at the top of the hour. What an idiot.

Just reading a transcript, I can still hear his monotonous droning voice.

Good lord, that guy's a bore.

I dated John Edwards' wife. I didn't date John Edwards' wife. We went out to dinner. We didn't...blah blah blah...

With this kind of blather, Aaron doesn't need to reveal who he's voting for. Even liberal newsmen are flip flops.

She ought to wear black. It's more flattering.

That said, after everything she went through, she probably handles stress by eating.

If a friend was trying to set you up on a blind date this is what he would say.

The way Democrats have sex is that they sit on the edge of the bed and promise it's going to be really, really good when they get in.
