John Edwards scandal too much even for a moonbat [Howie Carr Alert]
Boston Herald ^ | August 10, 2008 | Howie Carr

Posted on 08/10/2008 11:04:53 AM PDT by Zakeet

Now will you moonbats finally peel the Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers off your rusting Volvos and Saabs?

I’ve been telling you people for almost four years now how foolish you look, refusing to scrape off the reminders of yet another doomed Democrat ticket. This ongoing refusal to face reality has lasted longer than the Gore-Lieberman tantrum of 2000, which by 2002 had led GOP wags to festoon their SUVs with almost identical Sore-Loserman bumper stickers.

But after Friday, how can even a Prozac-swallowing moonbat’s moonbat continue to endure the snickers that a Kerry-Edwards bumper sticker cw0produces everywhere, including on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge?

Consider ex-Sen. Edwards’ smarmy confession. He’s guilty, he admits, but before sentencing, Your Honor, Sen. Edwards would like to make the court aware of a few extenuating circumstances.

He met the woman, who by the way changed both her first and last names and used to date a novelist whose only readable book was about cocaine, at a bar.

A bar in New York City.

He never really loved her. So somebody else must have knocked her up.

And although my client stipulates that his wife does indeed have cancer, it was in remission, Your Honor, when he started tagging the woman he didn’t love whom he met in a bar in New York City.

Yes, he did visit her early in the morning in a hotel in Beverly Hills, and he did run away from the National Enquirer reporters, and he has been lying about the whole tawdry third-rate romance low-rent rendezvous for almost a year now, but actually he’d like the record to reflect that overall he has been “99 percent honest.”

In other words, you can trust Sen. Edwards. He’s not like the others.

His relative inexperience and naivete are examples of what another Demonrat will go skippy to if he is - God Forbid - ever able to delude the slobbering masses enough to really get elected. Obama and the Democrats in Congress will truly be a fearful day for capitalist America. The greatest Evil facing this country in a long long time.

Odd how much the press loves this story - and yet we all know that if Clinton had 20 love children, the press would say it’s “just about sex”. I wonder what’s really going on with this story.

What is it about moonbats and their bumperstickers. If you see a car with bumperstickers, it is almost always moonbat ones. You have to wonder if they have ever had an original thought themselves.

>stickers...

I remember the turning point in the movie Total Recall, when Ronny Cox’s character, having been badgered the entire movie by Michael Ironside’s character to kill Quaid to no avail, finally relents:

“O.K. ... kill him”

Michael Ironside’s response:

“It’s about [CENSORED] time!”

Am I the only one more disgusted by him running for Prez while his wife was battling Stage IV cancer? I find that lust for power way more disturbing than lust for sex.

Moonbats are incapable of original thought and require printed instructions from Moonbat Central.

Hence, the stupid Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers on their stupid Saabs and Priuses.

What's even more disgusting is that he almost got away with it!

Imagine if he had ended up the Dem nominee. What a scandal if his paramour had come with bags in hand to the front door of the WH carrying the baby - ala Cleopatra presenting her child to Caesar. (Edward's or not, since the verdict is still out on the fatherhood.) These politicians, mostly Democrats, who have everything - money, power, loving families, faithful and caring wives, a career, etc. who can't seem to overcome the need to unzip their pants to get a cheap thrill with another woman to satisfy some animal need are sickening. They may as well be immature teen-age boys in a smelly locker room somewhere peeking into the girls' locker room. They haven't moved beyond that stage. And they expect forgiveness, more yet, they expect trust! And we wonder why kids today are so blase about sex and have no morality - look who are setting examples!

What is even more stupid is that if Edwards was going to be inclined to stray in such a manner, ya think he would have used birth control! Bringing another child into the world who has to suffer the embarrassment like his legitimate children of being fathered by a slime ball like Edwards is more than stupid - it is simply selfish and cruel.

Ms Hunter reminds me of a young Camilla Parker Bowles. And I’ll bet she’s also waiting in the wings for her boyfriend’s wife to die. Excuse me while I wash my eyes out with soap.

When Edwards was preaching his “Two America” mantra, I didn’t know what he was talking about! Now I know - HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THOSE WHO WERE HONEST AND TRUTHFUL TO THEIR FAMILIES and THOSE WHO WERE NOT (like he and Clintooooon)!

Actually, I have no sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards anymore. She allowed John Edwards to use his “love and respect for her courage” in his campaign while knowing Edwards had an affair.

Even worse, she posted a sympathetic diary entry at Daily Kos, excusing her husbands actions.

John Edwards is slimy enough to use his wife for cover in this scandal and his wife will let him get away with it.

“If you see a car with bumperstickers, it is almost always moonbat ones. “

yeah, but when on the road, it saves you a lot of time.

If you see someone getting out of car with lots of bumperstickers, you don’t want to ask them for directions, car help, or the weather.

I think it is narcissism. The moonbats actually believe that everyone else on the road gives a flip about their opinions. They probably also believe that these pithy slogans will actually change minds. Only a intellectually barren moonbat would have their mind changed by a bumper sticker they read while sitting in traffic.

I don't really consider what the moonbat sticker says...usually I wonder what sort of person would deface a vehicle they own simply to vent their anger/idiocy. If these cars have any resale value, the cost of a new paint job must be deducted from it.

Elizabeth thought she was going to die, from cancer.

It may be that she allowed this because she wanted him to be happy.

Even if she did, though, it is no excuse for him doing it.

And he will likely ‘use’ Reille, like he ‘used’ his wife.

I’m usually cracking up at how the bumper stickers unintentionally reveal way more than intended. They are hardly ever original thoughts; just recycled “I’m more enlightened than you are” messages.

John Edwards: “Your honor, we returned from a movie and dinner, being the gentlewoman she is; she opened the door for me and walked me to my room, I offered her a cocktail and she accepted. After a few minutes (sobbing) things got out of hand and she gave me a shampoo, conditioner, and blow dry (crying).

All bumper stickers say the same thing.

“Hey, Look at me!”
