John Edward 2008

Were you a fan back then or did you see through him?

Really Running On Empty
Not too many people have bothered to write much about John Edwards, and for good reason. He has approached irrelevancy almost as rapidly as Dennis Kucinich but with none of the entertainment value. After his predicted high-water mark in Iowa, where he edged Hillary Clinton on the basis of his populism, he has descended into spoiler status.

Charles Krauthammer, however, decides to analyze the John Edwards failure in today's Washington Post. One reason Edwards fell apart like a cheap suit springs from his decision to attack the record of a candidate - himself (via Memeorandum):

Edwards has made much of his renunciation of his Iraq war vote. But he has not stopped there. His entire campaign has been an orgy of regret and renunciation: ........

I liked Edwards more than Gore. He seemed more like a Clinton style new Democrat who wanted to help out the poor without attacking business.

Didn't like him then and don't like him now........ for a number of reasons.

He's a slimebag, and I hope he spends the rest of his life trying to figure out how to apologize for what he did... But I have to wonder if they really think they can get him on any felonies? I hate to use the "they did it too" defense, but let's face it, there have a been a LOT more egregious violations of FEC laws--ON BOTH SIDES--that are far worse than this...

And once again, a politician is getting busted for the coverup, diverting campaign funds trying to hide Ms. Hunter, than actually being a unfaithful scumbag while his wife has cancer. If he would have admitted everything at the start, he wouldn't have to worry about losing his law license now.

I can't disagree with you there....

AS we Now know HE is more like slick-willie...


:Off Topic Is slick-willie still getting 500k to talk, or has it dropped?
I found out but will move the answer to the thread it should be in Sorry...

Seems more like Newt Gingrich to me. Serving the wife with divorce papers while she's in the hospital with cancer?
