 Former presidential candidate John Edwards says he has been diagnosed with a medical condition that would make it difficult for him to attend his approaching criminal trial over campaign finances and is asking for it to be delayed.

I believe that the vernacular for what Mr. Edwards is manifesting is “snivelling”.

I hope the Enquirer has some photographers staking out his house. I’m sure the neighbor across the street that Silky Pony and the late missus liked to trash would be glad to let the reporters wait there.

Now he knows how some of the innocent doctors felt that he robbed. The stakes are a bit higher now for Edwards.

Edwards must have really pissed off the wrong people. He is really unpleasant but this diverting campaign funds to Rielle Hunter and paying hush money is pretty small potatoes for a Democrat.

This sniveling POS stayed in the race to nuke Hillary and this is how Obam pays him back? This guy must have really stepped on the wrong toes.

I just got a mental picture of your house. It looks like the “Hoarders” that I see on cable TV, only all the stuff is new and still in the box. What are you going to do with all this stuff, open a shop and sell it?

Try to delay all he wants it won’t be long before he sees the other America. The one where he is a abused girlfriend.

Well, my kitchen does have several dozen neatly lined up bottles of marinade. I did have about 5 months worth of coffee vacuum packs as well but discovered just this morning to my horror that I have suddenly run out of the stuff. Oh, and now that you reminded me. I need to go out to my van to grab several Alka Seltzer Plus cold medicines that I got for FREE today. And if that isn’t enough, I also picked up a bunch of Theraflu cold medicines for just 39 cents each.

LOL! Yep, you need to open a shop! Since you got all this stuff virtually for free, almost every cent will be profit.

I’m surprised he found a doctor that would treat him.

His hairspray won’t hold for a full day of trial.

No, he just wants to put the trial in a critical phase of the 2012 election, hoping that political pressure to keep details of Democrat corruption under cover will play in his favor.

The guy was a Democrat VP nominee and Presidential candidate and having him as a poster boy for Democrat corruption and cover up will be a bad message at a critical time for Democrats
