RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors have completed a wide-ranging investigation into John Edwards' political dealings and could indict the two-time presidential candidate within days, a person familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Edwards could still strike a plea deal to avoid an indictment, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the case's sensitivity.

Is Edwards being made an example so Democrat politicians can rebuke the (accurate) assertion by Republicans that Democrats aren’t held reponsible for their crimes? Or maybe Edwards ticked off a Democrat VIP who’s now getting revenge?

Barbara: [whistles] Nice butt. That’s what they’ll say.
Ken Kessler: I beg your pardon?
Barbara: Nice butt. That’s what they’ll say on your first day, in the men’s club.
Ken Kessler: The men’s club?
Barbara: Mmm. The San Quentin Country Club. With a cute little rear end like that, you’ll be the belle of the ball. Your dance card’ll be filled every day. You’ll be so popular, making all kinds of new, close friends. Big, ugly, hairy friends! Not that you’ll ever see what they look like, ‘cause you’ll be facing the other way.
Ken Kessler: You’re very good at this. You should write children’s books.

Great. Now can they FINALLY get around to indicting Obammie?

After all, they already have indictements against his co-conspirators Blago and Rezko and others.

NOW is the time to take down the most corrupt of all politicians.

(Hey. I can DREAM, can’t I?)

I'm glad to see the AP is sticking to their style sheet. Never mention the party of an indicted politician if the party is Democrat.

Hard to believe that this guy was a serious, viable candidate for POTUS a mere 3 years ago. What a fall.

Couldn’t happen to a slimier guy.

Well, after all, he's NOT one of Holder's 'people' -- plus, this conveniently and permanently eliminates a possible 2012 challenger for the throne (albeit a LONG, long-shot).

And after all, Mr. Alinsky DID teach all of them to never let a crisis go to waste. I'll bet John Edwards never envisioned THIS outcome when he hitched his wagon to THAT star, though!

With that said, this could not be happening to a more deserving selfish, vile, amoral, leech-like piece of human excrement.

John Edwards' ruthlessly self-centered narcissism is ALMOST a match for Barack Obama's -- and THAT'S saying something.

He almost was VP with Kerry in 04.

Thank you, Ohio.
