John Edwards: The Ultimate King of Heels?
FOX News ^ | February 6, 2010 | The Stiletto

Posted on 02/07/2010 12:37:26 PM PST by theothercheek

A spate of salacious new details about John Edwards’ affair with Rielle Hunter – and his handlers’ desperate, and possibly felonious, attempts at damage control – has become the source of endless talk recently with the publication of the bestselling campaign post-mortem “Game Change” and former campaign aide Andrew Young’s tell-all, “The Politician.” Edwards is just one in a long line of ambitious pols to cheat on his wife, and his affair with Hunter shares a number of interesting parallels with the sex scandals of previous presidents and candidates for the office.

King? I don't know, he's got an awful lot of competition among his pals on the Left. Or among trial lawyers. Or among ex-Senators. Or among current Senators.

How 'bout "Duke?" Duke of Heels. Il Duce.

Il Duca dei talloni.

There are much better heels.

Terry Funk. Nick Bockwinkel. Larry Zbyszko. Many more.

“...the particulars of Edwards’ affair – the terminally ill wife pus the illegitimate child plus the elaborate cover-up of his paternity plus not taking responsibility for his daughter Quinn until she was two years old plus the sex tape plus the latest bombshell allegation that he became enraged and struck Elizabeth during a heated argument – make it the most sordid sex scandal in the annals of American political history.”

Maybe John Edwards’ Mom will make a video like Mrs. Tebow, telling us how PROUD she is of her son, LOL!

Elizabeth? Divorce this JERK. Take ALL of his bloody money and set up a trust for your kids when you’re gone. Yeesh! I’d like to cut you some slack because you’re ill, but really. Enough is enough!

You’re ‘well’ enough to go on Oprah and anyone else that will have you these days!

Edwards soooooo needs to be a Kennedy.

He defines congruency with that abhorrent family.

Does anyone remember the way that Ann Coulter was absolutely trashed in the MSM for her comments about John Edwards?

Well was Ann Coulter right or what? I don't see any apologies to Ann. Doesn't Elizabeth Edwards owe Ann Coulter an apology? We won't see any apologies from the LEFT on this one. It's not in their nature to admit they were wrong and Ann was 100% correct in her assessment of Edwards.

Some have speculated that she’s getting an awful lot of ‘victim mileage’ and years out of her ‘terminal’ status.

My best friend died a few years back from cancer; from day of diagnosis to her death...7 months. And Cathy beat their end-date by 2 months. Some people appreciate every day God gives them! :)

EE has been dying for a good six years now...and I’m sorry, but if it was a choice between a spoled lib and my conservative, salt-of-the-earth friend, you know who I’d pick to be here with me today!

I’m sorry EE’s sick, and people do what they have to do for their own goofy reasons, but I think Dr. Phil needs to pay EE a visit. ;)

Well, if you read that review of Jenny Sanford’s book in the WaPo, he’s right up there too. Wonder why a woman who came from a wealthy family, made money of her own as an investment banker, was refined and elegant-looking, etc. would marry a creep like Sanford. Anyway, the FOX article dealt with only presidential candidates and presidents whose affairs had something in common with Edwards’ otherwise there would be so many cheaters to mention (like JFK and LBJ) that you could write a book, not an article.

True, but did Edwards or Sanford ever try to brand the Junkyard Dog with a branding iron?

EE needs to just STFU and go away. Her and her philandering dip-$hit husband can KMLWA.

Geezus, the morons that these two hucksters took in.

And, I am sure she will be “dying” for at least another 10 years or so. I don’t believe a word of that crap.

Dems/libs/socialists/marxists/bolsheviks are like onions. Every time they give you a new layer, you find a whole new person until that layer goes rotten and they have to show a new layer. Edwards is just about out layers. Obama has many layers yet to be revealed.

Say, has Ann Coulter written a special column about this scandal?

If not, WHY not?

It would be interesting to read!

Or in the words of Pat Buchanan referring to what Todd Palin should do to Levi....take him down to the creek and hold him under till he stops thrashing.

If he put on some weight and learned a few wrestling moves he could get a gig at McMahons World Wrestling Enterprises as a heel character.

I have to admit that the context of your comment is over my head. Please enlighten me ...
