According to the Associated Press, former Rep. David Bonior, who ran John Edwards' recent failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, had harsh words for Edwards upon his confession of an affair with former staffer Rielle Hunter.

Bonior, the former Michigan congressman, told the AP that he was disappointed and angry after hearing of Edwards' confession.

"Thousands of friends of the senators and his supporters have put their faith and confidence in him and he's let him down," Bonior said "They've been betrayed by his action."

Asked whether the affair would damage Edwards' future aspirations in public service, Bonior replied: "You can't lie in politics and expect to have people's confidence."

Anyone REALLY believe Bonior had no clue? Don’t trust anyone right now - they are all in excuse-making, finger-pointing, CYA mode.

The anti Edwards feeding frenzy begins. ;-)

A trial lawyer and politician lied... I'm shocked!!

[Man50D]

Edwards will now be held in high esteem by his fellow socialist Democrats.

It takes a real scumbag to cheat on a cancer-ridden wife.

You drag a $100 bill through a Democrat Presidential campaign office and you never know what you’ll find.

[DarthVader]

Bonior is a cockroach just like Edwards is.

>>>Bonior replied: “You can’t lie in politics and expect to have people’s confidence.”

for mortals, yes;

but tv gods like bill clinton, no.

you can lie.

[weegee]

Bonior, the former Michigan congressman...

Is he also disappointed in the Democrat Detroit mayor who is currently sitting in jail?

[Rosemont]

Edwards, a jerk for lying and cheating on his sick wife (who he often hid behind and used as an attack dog), is still a better person than Bonior.

[icwhatudo]

SOP. In a few days it will all be about how the national Enquirerish Republicans are hurting a woman with cancer.

[PGalt]

Bonior is a cockroach just like Edwards is.

WORTH REPEATING

Thanks.

Bonior, one of the elected nut cases who went begging to Saddam before the war.

Yeah, whatever he says, I believe.

The Washington Post confirms that someone has been sending unspecified sums of money to Rielle Hunter. The person who's sending the money is, and I quote the WAPO,

Fred Baron, a Texas lawyer who was the finance chairman of Edwards's two presidential campaigns, in 2004 and this year

Bonior is a weasel passing judgement upon a jerk.

Who cares what either of these lowlifes think?
