Funny, this just forced Wikipedia to finally put this on Edwards’ entry. But there was immediately talk about minimizing it:

“Now that the affair has been confirmed by Edwards, perhaps it can be properly discussed how to handle the affair within the article. I’m thinking a section is a bit of overkill as it is going to be at most a paragraph or two in length. My thoughts are that a short paragraph detailing the revelation of the affair and subsequent denials/confirmation can be included in the family section and then another short paragraph detailing the rise and fall of his Vice Presidential chances could be included in the 2008 campaign section, in this paragraph would be a brief mention of the affair. “

Of course this poster is an admitted Seattle liberal. As one poster said to one of the libs trying to keep this off Edwards’ article, the dyke is crumbling around his fingers. The dyke’s gone now. And this guy didn’t get his way, there’s a full article about it now. :)

I think Elizabeth is way more attractive than the mistress. Elizabeth is not homely.

I guess we can safely assume that Reille is not Pro-abortion! Ya think Edwards would checked that out, considering his stance on the issue. Stupid, immature, self-loving, narcissistic, slimeball.

So he ordered Russia and Georgia to fight today, to keep this off the front page? :O)

no, he said it on a Friday and the day the Olympics Open!!

At least we don't have to hear the Two Americas speech again. Perhaps we can give a "Two Edwards" speech. One Edwards pretends to care about his wife who has cancer. The other Edwards cheats on his wife who has cancer.

This is so so sad. That poor woman. I don’t agree with her politics but she does not deserve this. I’ve always detested that scumbag vain Edwards...........those poor children. I’m praying for Elizabeth maybe by some miracle she’ll survive this jerk of a husband. If she we’re to die and those children are left with him???????? I shudder to think.

He admitted to a “liaison." Didn't have the Snickers to admit that he had dirty sex with the broad with man hands.”

Amazing the Liberal Pravda Media can’t cover it up...so they just don’t even report on it... This story has been perculating for 2 years and nothing...no investigative reporting the man ran a campaign for the nomination and none of the press vetted this.... He is a Liberal and the media is hands off on these sensative issues.

If this doesn’t send a very strong message to the American people that the Media are consciously not reporting the news about Liberal Politicians and how that equates to the same way the the Communists gained control of the Soviet Union... When the sites like Freerepublic and Talk Radio get shut down then the transition will be complete I guess.

Now you sound like one of my cynical SIL’s. She was even more cynical. How many liberal women will be rushing to sell their stories about romance with the Breck Girl and to write a quickie book.

They don’t call them DUmmies for nothing! Couple hundred posts I read over there, much sympathy for Elizabeth, much resentment of Ponyboy for running the risk of compromising their chances in November...yet no one makes the connection that if Elizabeth knew in 2006, and encouraged him to run in 2007, she’s just as guilty of the political risky behavior.
And of taking their money, which is frequently mentioned.

He would make a good running mate for Obama.

I suspect he will say he didn’t realize he was the father if tests are run which prove he is. He’d probably stoop so low as to say it could have been any number of men....

I wonder who Elizabeth will hire to represent her, should it come to that.

Hillary Clinton, it is reported, will take to the floor of the convention declaring that Obama's election is sullied and useless because of the Edwards endorsement pushing Omama over the top. Had Edwards been truthful, Clinton asserts, she would have received not only the most votes from the electorate, but also surpassed Obama in delegate numbers too. Through backroom agreements, Obama coopted Edwards for endorsement, with Edwards knowing he had hijacked 7-15% of the vote which was channeled, by endorsement not only to Obama, but away from Clinton. It looks like Denver may burn yet.

It could happen. Well, it could.

I would wager a Hamilton that the Enquirer already has the DNA analysis. This denial will carry them for several days or weeks, strangling the democrat convention. May it be so. The media need to get as many democrat politicians on record as possible as to their position on this matter as of TODAY.

True, it's hard to see past Elizabeth's illness now but if in 06/early 07 she knew about the affair and still thought he should run for President then.... what??..... she's more like Hillary than we thought!!
