now that we know something about her prior history, her apparent unwillingness to pursue a paternity test, etc., and his denial he fathered the child, I’m starting to wonder why he admitted to the affair?

If the affair was over “a long time” what was he doing in her hotel room in L.A. in the middle of the night just two weeks ago? Pure BS...

The guy was as vapid as Kerry, but much less ugly. Of course he was going to have an affair. What else is there for dhimmicrats to do? Think? Methinks not.

You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself.

Just the same Mr. Edwards, I think we should beat you a while longer, just to make sure.

I have doubts with this article. In socialist Democrat circles this type of behavior is revered.

It is a fitting end to a completely phony political career. The trial lawyering which made him rich was also phoney, but Shakespeare warned us about that.

Mrs. Edwards wrote on ABC blogs that “Republicans scare me.”

Mrs. Edwards, given everything we now know, how you covered up for your lying husband while he was running for president, you are complicit in the lie. Do not use your illness as a sympathy play.

Mrs. Edwards, your “thinking” frankly “scares me.”

He needs to thank the Clintoons for this. At least, he didn't end up like Foster.

Oh I forgot they're no longer the presidents....guess they didn't think they had the ability to cover it up. So instead they destroyed him through the tabloids. Wonder what's next?

Edwards arranged for the reporters to “catch” him, he outed himself in a two part effort to (a) position himself as a centrist Democrat and to (b) prove Coulter wrong.

The transparent lying is part of (a). He’s not sure how to follow up for (b). Maybe get some leathers and a Harley.

Think about all this. John Boy and Elizabeth are not going to the convention which is soon. Imagine if they were there and the story breaks later. Obama is in Hawaii on vacation when all this breaks, completely removed from all this. The story is announced on Friday night, non news night, and first night of the Olympics.

John Boy was directed and forced to do this now. He would never stop lying unless greatly threatened. Maybe other affairs would be revealed unless he does it NOW.

It's the timing folks. This was all set up to protect Obama.

Too bad Edwards isn’t the nominee for the Dems. I wonder if this will have any effect on Obama’s numbers.

There are lots of small business, insurance companies, corporation to sue. He’ll do fine. 15 k per month is chump change rather than a divorce. Heck, for his income bracket his fellow lawyers would charge him over a mil to handle a divorce. Probably pick up a twenty something trophy wife in a few years. You know, for the children. He’ll groom Silky Phoney Jr. into a monster, a la old Joe Kennedy and live through him.

Given the way The Edwards’ acted when they announce she had terminal cancer, I wouldn’t put anything past them now. That was a cold and calculated political move. A caring an loving husband and wife would have dropped everything to extend her life and spend their remaining time together. That is if the cancer story is even true.

BTW - Only a paternity test will solve this. Nothing else can be trusted.

Also, considering on Hannity & Colmes last night - and being repeated as I type - the mistress basically stated she is waiting for Mrs Edwards to die and then she will move in. I feel no sympathy whatsoever for any of them. In fact, knowing this and she still sticks with Edwards, goes to show how stupid Mrs Edwards is. A sane and normal woman would kick him out on the street, ensuring he is poor when he lands on it.
