So John Edwards "didn't love" the woman with whom he broke his marriage vows while his wife was being ravaged by cancer and radiation treatments? Am I supposed to be impressed by this?
I also wonder how he is so sure that Rielle Hunter's child is not his. Will he be required to prove it by submitting to a DNA test?
All of this is being asked by Neil Cavuto and others, as we wait for the Edwards' to appear in a press conference to answer the many questions that I'm sure the media is eager to ask.
I don't know whether or not to feel sorry for Elizabeth Edwards; it will depend on how much it turns out that she has or has not known all along. If it really appears that this is as much of a surprise to her as to everyone else, then she certainly will deserve our deepest sympathies. I have a feeling that this will probably be the case.
What can you say about a man who (repeatedly, it appears) cheated on his wife while she was fighting cancer, at the same time moralistically urging the rest of the country to help fight poverty by letting their taxes be raised?
The AP is also reporting that Edwards' PAC paid Hunter $100,000 for 4 Web videos that she made for the Edwards campaign, one only 2 1/2 minutes long. Can we say "Hush money"? Well, it didn't work.
Like so much of what Democrats recommend, it seems there is a double standard for the powerful that is not in force for regular Joes.
