Edwards Furious ABC Broke Affair Story Before 'Nightline' Aired By Noel Sheppard Created 2008-08-10 10:32
John Edwards is apparently furious with ABC News for releasing information concerning his affair with former campaign staffer Rielle Hunter before "Nightline" aired Friday evening.
In fact, it appears the reason Edwards agreed to the interview was in the hopes that Americans would be so involved in watching the Olympics his confession would go largely unnoticed.
Such was reported [1] Saturday by Broadcasting & Cable (photo courtesy AP):
Edwards had hoped to control the news cycle by making his admission late on a Friday night when the country was watching the Olympics and the long weekend yawned ahead.
According to multiple sources, Edwards was apoplectic that ABC News broke the story on its website and began promoting it early on Friday, giving the rest of the media a chance to play catch-up and cite ABC News report. (Representatives for Edwards did not return a call or e-mail for comment.)
I guess when the media sycophantically treats you like an objection of affection, it's easy to assume you'll be able to control them.
I wuss he would just go away
Sorry Silky Pony, it’s out of your control now....
What a crybaby. I still find it hard to believe he was able to find more than one woman in his lifetime to have sex with him.
“edwards furious”
how tiresome. another furious democrat. (don’t they ever get tired of being furious and outraged?)
Speaking for Michelle: boo freaking hoo...
Trying to lock the barn door after the Silky Pony has left....
Then again, if he'd had his priorities straight all along, he wouldn't be in this mess to begin with.
“another furious democrat”
in the same category as “offended Muslim.”
A Democrat can’t believe the MSM wouldn’t carry his water, as usual.
Just a small clue to the breathtaking arrogance of this phoney thug...upset that the media didn’t bow to his wishes!! Think maybe the left is slightly out of control with its cheerleading/protective MSM agency??
He can no longer deny that the affair happened, so he gets angry at the messenger.
He tries to deflect attention from the actual ‘incident’ — the affair — by trying to making the messenger (the media) the object of attention.
He also tried to create a moral equivalence deflection by implying that McCain has a similar history of extra-marital involvement.
These are just attempts to try to deflect attention away from him and his affair on to some other incident or person. They usually don't work.
“in the same category as ‘offended muslin’”
lol
I’ll bet he’s hiding out in his bathroom practicing his “pouty” look for the cameras
Yes they did. You have to wonder what they have on the crack-smoking homosexual Obama.
I thought that graphic was a joke. It’s not! He really was Father of the Year in 2007. Big LOL.
