Let me say when I first heard that Senator John Edwards had been exposed as an adulterous liar, I didn't believe it.
If reports had said he was caught with the male cashier at the local Abercrombie & Fitch, I might have believed that. But not some two-bit female hooker masquerading as a campaign staffer! Never!
For months, Edwards denied having an affair with staffer Rielle Hunter as his wife battles breast cancer.
This weekend, he finally said (paraphrasing), "Okay...maybe I did sleep with her, but I didn't love her, and that baby sure ain't mine!"
I expected Elizabeth to come out from behind the curtain dragging Rielle by her polyester wig screaming, "He's my man! He's going home with me!" And then Rielle would start snapping off her Lee Press-on nails in preparation of a fight saying "You don't know me! You can judge me!"
But alas, this was no Jerry Springer episode. This was the dream of a nation going up in smoke as hopes for an Obama-Edwards ticket died.
The word coming out of everyone's mouth is "Disappointed."
We're disappointed with you, John. We can wrap our minds around the affair. Many powerful men have fallen prey to the powers of Jezebel. What we can't wrap our minds around is the lying. Lying to us and lying to your wife Elizabeth.
And further more, I never want to hear you reference your "Christian faith" again as a reason why you don't support same-gender marriage. You've lost the right to use that card.
Gays want to be married because we believe in honor and commitment. The Bible says "God is Love," not "God is whoring around on your dying wife as you judge and oppress others who are different from you!"
Rather than defining marriage as two people who love each other and want to legally join their lives together to start a family, apparently your "Christian faith" allows you to define it as one man and one woman and his gold-digging baby-mama.
It sickens me, John. I'm beyond disappointed, I'm disdainful.
Why is it always the "family values" politicians who get their freak on behind closed doors?
I thought you were one of the good guys. Guess not.

Ya know, I can get by the lying and the cheating.
I still think Clinton was the best president of my lifetime (which goes back to LBJ)
It's the lying and cheating while wife is battling cancer part that really moved me into the "disappointed" arena.
The only way Edwards can regain the trust is to stay a private citizen and pull off some Carter/Gore style greatness.
It's not Rielle Hunter's fault - she thought John Edwards was John Edward and she wanted to "cross over".
I agree with you 100%!
Nail on the head.
"You've lost the right to use that card."
Exactly.
"Gays want to be married because we believe in honor and commitment."
I love how people are all "Marriage has to be between a man and a woman" and "Gays are evil" and we can't adopt because of our black Satan's blood that runs through our veins.
Well, well, well, religious zealots. Seems to me that men and women who are married are not the holiest of holes, are they?
Not even between a man who has a dying wife.
See you in Hell, John Edward, with me and my girlfriend who have been together longer than you can keep it in your pants with another woman.
:-)

This breaks my heart. I have lost all respect for him. I thought he was one of the good guys too. Maybe there aren't any good guys left in Washington.
:(
Is sex REALLY that important to men, that they are willing to sacrifice everything for it?
Geez, rent some porn or something!
Seriously, WTF?
I am VERY disappointed in him. He is a liar and what he did to his wife is just shameful.
His wife is dying? What a douchebag.
Amen Preacher!
Amen, amen, amen! You don't get lower than that.
