John Edwards could have been president
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 5/26/11 | Debra J. Saunders

Posted on 05/26/2011 7:46:31 AM PDT by SmithL

Politico reports that the U.S. Attorney in Raleigh is getting ready to indict John Edwards on felony campaign finance charges. This might be a good time to remember that -- after all the bellyaching about John McCain picking the dangerous Sarah Palin to be a heart-beat from the presidency in 2008 -- that John Forbes Kerry did likewise with Edwards in 2004.

I believe John Edwards is such a fracking coward that he will never see the inside of a prison cell, and will likely kill himself before he is ever locked up.

If locked up, I expect he will hang himself in protective custody or be beaten to death in general population.

Hope for the best. Pity his children.

Sorry.

Ginger-Kid Debra Saunders is on my no-read list along with Peggy Noonan.

And, just like clockwork, I see that she couldn’t even get through the first line without a Palin snark.

Same with Gary Hart. Clinton was.

The Democrat Golden Boyz (Bonito Ninos) are all blow-dryed, fast talking empty heads.

John Edwards educated all of us about 2 Americas.

And the irony of complaining about 2 Americas is that Edwards is very firmly in the wealthiest elite group of America. Even though his daddy worked in a “meel”, Edwards is solidly in the group in which he doesn’t have to worry about how to pay his bills.

He made his fortune through malpractice lawsuits. The MSM never talked much about that, but, people like Edwards have driven up the costs of healthcare for all of us.

His hair reminds me a bit of Jimmy Johnson, the football coach. Some men, you just know they spend lots of time on their hair so not a hair is ever out of place.

Note: No mention that he is a Democrat until the last sentence of the article. If it was a Republican it would have been the first or second.

Well....according to him, there were two Americas. Neither one agreed.

Had Edwards become President, this would have been downplayed as a “private matter” and all investigations would have been tainted afteward.

Edwards’ use of campaign funds for the coverup would have been ignored by the media as well as the DOJ.
