'I'd kill myself first!' John Edwards 'suicidal' over facing jail, claim pals
UK Daily Mail ^ | 4/6/11 | Daily Mail Reporter

Disgraced politician John Edwards is said to be deeply depressed - to the point of being suicidal - over the prospect of a criminal trial that could end with him being jailed if found guilty.

The 57-year-old former Presidential candidate reportedly told a close friend: 'I won't go to jail. I'd kill myself first!'

He has lost 20lb in the last year and is a 'broken spirit,' reports the National Enquirer.

According to the Enquirer, a close source said: 'I think John is suicidal. He knows that if he's indicted, prosecutors will try to get him to serve jail time and make an example of him.

'He's absoluetly despondent over the fear of prison.

'Over the last year, he's lost about 20lb and friends are concerned that he's escaping reality with booze.

Like the cover they gave JFK. Can you imagine if JFK didn’t get away with stealing that election? 6 years later, he would have ended up just like Edwards, only his appetite for women and illegal activity was fair greater than Edwards’. The media covered for him then, just as they cover for Dems now.

So provide a hair dresser for him and a full length mirror. He’ll be just fine.

He probably knows that state issued grooming products will ruin his hair in the joint.

The way of the transgressor is hard. But how else can one be a transgressor?

I'm sure we can find a child to channel his spirit and let us all know how he's doing in the afterlife.

Bernie Madoff is doing fine. I think Edwards will survive the experience. Wasn’t there a LA Gov. too who managed decently enough in jail?

The Breck Girl won’t be able to comb his hair since inmates aren’t allowed to have combs. This is probably why he’s so upset!

I don’t like his politics and don’t like his moral failings, but I feel bad for him if he ends of killing himself or going to jail. He has two children with no mom.

He went on a power “sin” rip and is now being crushed by it. If he’s crushed, the kids will be even more crushed.

I remember when he was trumpeted as the hope and future of the Democrat party when elected Senator.

I'm glad he didn't make it to the White House. Unfortunately we got Obama instead.

Edwards needs to be bitch slapped. Can’t he just stop thinking about his damn self for one minute and think about his children? I know he’s a piece of shit but for heaven sakes he needs to think about his kids and what his suicide would do to them.

I wish Edwards would man up, take his punishment and then move on with life.

If silky is threatning suicide shouldn’t he be arrested and held for 72 hour observation or something like that?

Breck Girl placed a bet on winning when she’d become untouchable, like Bambi, like Boy Klinton, like Teddy.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Perhaps the prosecuting attorney could adopt John’s attitude he went after companies with as an ambulance chasing trial attorney:

Electronic monitored probation for 5 years, AND hand over ALL YOUR ASSETS - houses, cars and all other vehicles, land, bank accounts, jewelry, hair products, etc.

The Breck girl doesn’t want to go to jail? What’s it worth to you not to get butt f****d Johnny boy? All the ill-gotten gain you’ve ever accumulated.

John doesn’t have the balls to say that in the face of death.

Great movie btw.
