Likelihood of Success

Remember this one?  “Edwards reaffirms key political question.”  And this, its predecessor.

Oh, did I get abused for this.  Even by some pretty slick brains.  How could I be so mean.

Well. And… and… to Her.

And now?  It’s as if I’m the only one left who hasn’t piled on at this point.

But wasn’t that a different issue?   The cancer?  The suffering, saintly wife?

Not at all.   It’s all of a piece.  Two things:

1. People like this are made for each other.  That doesn’t excuse the humiliation visited on their wives, but it does tell you something about a woman who would be with the likes of such men in the first place.
2. Anyone who couldn’t see what a cynical, wicked phony John Edwards is — and I don’t mean a mere scamp like Bill Clinton, but an utterly soul-less, ambition driven, demagogue with a potentially unlimited capacity for unprincipled rule — from “go” wasn’t looking.

Silky pony indeed.

UPDATE:  What were my mean old words?  That he was either “a liar or a moral retard.”  Yea-heah.
