HE WAS ALWAYS A FAKE
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2008 | Kirsten Powers

Posted on 08/09/2008 6:43:41 AM PDT by Zakeet

JOHN Edwards "shocked" the political world yesterday by admitting he'd cheated on his wife of 30 years with a campaign aide, Rielle Hunter.

If it looks like a phony, walks like a phony, quacks like a phony, it's a phony.

He wouldn't steal it. It would be in a trust and there would, sadly, be very high 'administration fees', or loans that went 'sour' to, sadly, very trusted friends and their schemes, er, 'investments'.

“This is a man who acquired his vast wealth by lying to gullible juries about poor little disabled children who had the misfortune to be born with cerebal palsy.”

Who wouldn’t prefer the McCain route to even vaster wealth—marry a beautiful, much younger woman who is the sole heir to a vast fortune?

Wrong guy. You'd be talking about John Friggin Kerry. McCain's wife's fortune is separate from his finances and subject to a prenuptual agreement.

Edwards is just a snot-nosed kid, full of the most vile hypocrisy, holding tight to his crooked, cardboard halo, dancing around the truth, and pointing fingers at others.

Even his “Confession” was a blatant lie.

He claims the affair was over in 2006, isn’t paying her, isn’t the father, and doesn’t love her yet he offers no explanation as to why he was in her hotel room at 2:30 in the morning just two weeks ago holding, what he claims, is someone else’s baby.

Apparently, this was their third such meeting in recent months.

He also doesn’t explain why the woman lived under an assumed name and kept moving house while pregnant if the baby was just the child of a staffer (Andrew Young).

John Edwards -- WTF were you thinking? I guess you wanted to see the other America that is the disadvantaged. Yes, the other AMERICA are the people who don't have affairs - no matter if your spouse is sick or not.

The other America is the America that is FAITHFUL to your Spouse - no matter if they are Liberal, Conservative, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or Apolitical. You, John, are a SLEEZEBALL!!!

Hey Kirsten....how about the HYPOCRITICAL "POVERTY TOUR" while he's making MILLIONS at a HEDGE FUND??? And living in a 20,000 sq ft. house??? Talk about a FRAUD!!!

And Elizabeth is a fraud also, since she KNEW about the affair and still supported him in his run for President!!! They could have gone away and their children would NEVER have to know about this scandal!

Shame on ELIZABETH for not protecting her children, also!! They are BOTH POLITICAL WHORES!

I would posit, however, that at 71 years of age, his years of adultery have come to an end.

Not unless he takes the 'blue pill'! :-)

The Father of “Andrew Young’s baby” still has a contact form at his presidential campaign website if you want to express your opinion to him about his lying to us and cheating on his family.

“Wrong guy. You’d be talking about John Friggin Kerry. McCain’s wife’s fortune is separate from his finances and subject to a prenuptual agreement.”

All right. Let’s see. Listed in senate disclosure records as worth between $15 million to $20 million. Lives in a mansion. Flies around in her jet. Doesn’t sound like he’s doing much worse than that other guy who figured out how to get rich the easy way—John Kerry.

Well, what can happen to this jerkoff?
His wife is standing by him, so he isnt going to get screwed in a divorce.
His poliical career may be in ruins, but maybe not. Since he is a democrat, the unions and the other morons will support him just because he is a Democrat. And even if it dont blowover, then he can just sit on his pampered rear end and not have to work a day again in his life.
He will come out of this smelling like a Rose. Too bad he isnt a GOP member.

If it looks like a phony, walks like a phony, quacks like a phony, it's a phony.

Or . . .

Who was he? Apparently, whatever he thought people wanted him to be.

Comment:

Much as I have disgust for John Edwards I do believe he has given new hope to Ambulance chasers.

Actually as an Oklahoma wannabe we can usually spot a phony a mile in either direction.

Obama is such a person as described by Kristen Powers.

Obama is like a Chameleon telling so many stories, changing and hoping, flopping and flipping that he ofter needs a teleprompter to keep him on track.

Without the teleprompter telling him him what his current position is supposed to be based on the crowd he is speaking to Obama will ofter flip and flop like a giant Carp in the same speech.

And don't forget, everybody else does it.

When Edwards pointed the finger at McCain's infidelity from 30+ years ago, was he insinuating that being married to Elizabeth was similar to the physical torture that McCain suffered while a POW? That’s almost as bad as Clinton trying to claim that as Commander in Chief, he was actually on active duty and couldn’t be sued by Paula Jones.

I have the same type of cancer. There are treatments available that make this a chronic disease. She is terminal in the sense that cancer may kill her eventually but she could also die of old age. Depends on her response to the drugs.

Geez they finally admit what most of us have known for a very long time. From the crafted story of the “mill workers” son who was really the plant manager to the “two America’s” when the guy lives in a 20,000+ sf home. Perhaps if he ever crawls back out of the hole they have dispatched him to they won’t glowingly just report what he has to say as truth? Don’t hold your breathe!
