What a fraud!

The former senator might be your attorney general today if our reporters hadn't stuck with the story.
It took John Edwards two years to tell the truth. I was surprised; I thought it would take longer.
The man who risked the fate of the Democratic Party to satisfy his political narcissism released a statement Thursday finally admitting paternity of Rielle Hunter's daughter. In part, he said: "To all those I have disappointed and hurt, these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry."
His sincerity was as egocentrically superficial as his infamous $1,250 haircut during the 2004 presidential race.
If this seems harsh, it's an analysis borne of two and a half years uncovering the former North Carolina senator's affair while I was editor in chief of the National Enquirer. Throughout the 2008 Democratic primary, I watched him lie, use associates to help him lie, and perniciously abuse public trust while campaigning on restoring a moral core to fill the void of America's diminishing greatness.
In October 2007, after invoking Martin Luther King Jr. in a campaign speech, Mr. Edwards said: "There are much more important things in life than winning elections at the cost of selling your soul. Especially right now, when our country . . . needs to hear the truth from its leaders."
Cut to Aug. 8, 2008, when Mr. Edwards, after being caught visiting his mistress and their baby in the middle of the night by the National Enquirer, admits his affair on ABC's "Nightline" only because he can no longer credibly deny or evade the issue.

The Breck Girl finally comes clean.
Two Americas - the one where people like and cheat, and the one where they don’t.
Freepers didn't need to be forced to acknowledge it. Edwards was called out as a phony from the git-go on FR.
May the Enquirer expose many more politicians.
EXPOSE AWAY! :-)
I heard of a great headline in the paper regarding this story: “Pop is the Weasel.”
Took the Enquirer to expose
The Lame Stream Media spent the next two years trying to cover it up. The Breck girl was their darling.
And they want to know why their revenue streams/viewership/readership falls drastically every quarter? The only thing with a lower IQ than a journalist, is a sports journalist.
And the ignorant masses keep buying it ...
Hey I’ve got some carbon credits to sell .. anyone interested?
Typical democrat. They lie..they steal...they obfuscate...they prevaricate.....This is what democrats do.
Do you honestly believe Republican politicians are any different?
Really?
The Republican Party includes a significant number of the criminally-inclined.
The Democrat Party, however, is a criminal enterprise.
“The Breck Girl finally comes clean”
Only because he has to. Former lackey Andy Young’s tell-all book will be out in a few days.

John Edwards(D) = World’s Biggest Douche BAG.
The DemocRAT party wants to drive the country off the cliff at 90mph while the RepubliPukes only want to go over the cliff at 70mph...
Just keep drinking that kool-aide...
You might want to check with the Founding Fathers - they set up a government which, despite their antipathy to “factions”, evolved into a two party system.
So let me know if the Whgs are on the ballot in November, and I’ll give them a look - otherwise, it’s an easy choice (with or without Kool Aid).
Yes.
You just let me know when the Republicans actually reduce spending or the size of the government. Then, you can come back and praise their virtues.
Last time I checked, when they were in control of both houses Congress and the White House, they out-spent the democrats by a wide margin and gave us the current economic depression by catering to the Wall Street bankers and illegal aliens.
Which proves P.T. Barnum was right when he said a fool and his money are soon parted.
