Here is one of the columnists from the Huffington Post (the Left's answer to Townhall.com) on Edwards extramarital escapade. The short version is: Everybody does it, so why make such a big deal over an affair?
Earth to Chez Pazienza, whose name I never heard before today: No, not everyone does it. We all could, but many, MANY of us don't. Crucial difference there.
If anything highlights why I am a conservative, it is a piece like this that strives to establish moral equivalency between Edwards, Clinton, Hart & Co. and all of the decent men of the world who are faced with innumerable sexual temptations throughout their lives, but continuously make the right choices (in favor of their wives, their children and/or their God) rather than the easy one (the thrill of the moment).
Edwards was right on target when he said, in the Nightline interview, that all of the fame and exposure of the last few years fed the development of a narcissistic ego which led him to think he could get away with anything. If he continues down this road of forthrightness, he'll be a better man in the end.

Have you noticed the timing of this confession--the forthcoming weekend and the beginning of international attention on the Summer Olympics? Leave it to a Democrat to plan such a crucial confession while the world is so distracted with something bigger. Have you also noticed that the champion lawyer skillfully evaded the answer as the to ending of the affair? Dare we hope that Hillary has another juicy morsel like this to trot out on Obama?
