DENVER - John Edwards is burning up the phone lines, begging former aides and backers to forgive him for lying about his affair - but hearing their rage instead.
As Democrats kick off their convention Monday, the onetime presidential contender is a man without a party - or a political future - trying to rebuild bridges through dozens of remorseful phone calls.
It's proving a hard sell with onetime true believers.
Many are bitter and disillusioned after swallowing his lies about his affair with a campaign staffer and vouching for his credibility with friends and journalists.
Some ignore his plaintive phone entreaties and don't call back - even when Edwards leaves follow-up messages. A few return his calls - and give him a piece of their angry minds.

it just gets gooder and gooder........
He also asked if they had any spare pairs of panties lying around that they could send him. He’s getting tired of the same old ones.
Can we say “disingenuous cheating lowlife”?
The good news it it looks like he’ll have to live with his wife for a long long time.

Gee....maybe he should take lessons from Bill Clinton in how to have more forgiving fans.
The $250,000 he spent on the dog house is starting to look like a good investment.
And Jimmy Swaggert (after being caught twice) wrote the famous book “A Minister’s Guide to Lay People.”
Man, who in their right mind would put their faith in an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer????
Whoops, I forgot, the Dim's are never in their right mind.
Instead the evil was in her bedroom and he is a very typical Democrat.
I always knew you were a lying SOB, but, but, but, now I really, really, really know you were a lying SOB.
Gosh, you had me at my daddy was a plant worker. Prick.
For his wife's sake, I hope he drops all the drama queen stuff and starts acting like a loving husband. He owes her that.
Edwards is in one America and his former friends and supporters are in the other.
will be stealing a page out of this man's book
in no time at all ...
that slimeball should be calling his donors and givivg them their money back.
And Elizabeth Edwards needs to come clean also. What did she know, and when did she first find out, and why did she continue to support his run for the Presidency if she knew as far back as 2006.
John Edwards continues to be a total scumbag — particularly to his wife, but also to his mistress.
If I hadn’t stopped to pick up an image of Silk Pony I’d have beaten you to the punch ...
