The "...Prison Rodeo makes a fair point, I suppose. The "I want to meet you with a wide stance in the men's room" approach of Larry Craig is much, much worse.<BR/><BR/>But no one is defending Larry Craig.<BR/><BR/>The real question is why so many women seem SO mad at Edwards. I mean, they are RIPPING him.<BR/><BR/>I don't think you can accuse Angus or me of being pro-Repub, though, dude. Angus has this wierd thing for McCain, but only as the lesser of two Weebles.<BR/><BR/>And I'm so mad I am running as a Libertarian.<BR/><BR/>Here is the generalization: Democrats can't keep their pants zippled, and Republicans steal money.

Spitzer loses all that back again for making his wife stand beside him on the platform of shame, but he gains a bit for quitting promptly.<BR/><BR/>Edwards loses big (1) for continuing the affair while the wife delt with dying, (2) for clinging to his hopes of power past the point of any reasonable hope, and (3 -- biggest!) for continuing to lie about it after he knew -- must have known -- that (a) it would excruciating punishment for his wife and (b) the lie was sure to be exposed.<BR/><BR/>The winner: Edwards, but "dofus" isn't the right word... and that reminds me of a story:<BR/><BR/>Citizen (speaking to immigrant who stubbed his toe in a store): You should sue for that!<BR/><BR/>Chinese immigrant: I may sue person for such a tiny ding?!<BR/><BR/>Citizen: Well... if you can stand the sleaze, you can.<BR/><BR/>Immigrant: prease excuse my poor Engrise, what is "srease"?<BR/><BR/>Citizen: Hmmm... did you ever hear of John Edwards?Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574355302581451838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-69901231470726284212008-08-10T09:08:00.000-04:002008-08-10T09:08:00.000-04:00The lord is my barber, I shall not want.He maketh ...The lord is my barber, I shall not want.<BR/><BR/>He maketh me lie down to get shampooed.

We noted that Dems appear to mess around with 1. consenting 2. age appropriate 3. opposite-sex 4. single individuals. This is in pretty stark contrast with the once-a-week bits we hear about GOPers (e.g., <A HREF="http://wonkette.com/401755/republican-missouri-state-rep-caught-banging-14-year-old" REL="nofollow"> here</A>, <A HREF="http://craig.senate.gov/keyportal.cfm" REL="nofollow">here</A>, <A HREF="http://wonkette.com/400735/ted-haggard-finishes-spiritual-restoration-is-no-longer-a-homo" REL="nofollow">here</A>, <A HREF="http://wonkette.com/320569/bob-allen-jury-to-visit-infamous-potty" REL="nofollow">here</A>, etc. etc.).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-35343593669140230652008-08-09T21:03:00.000-04:002008-08-09T21:03:00.000-04:00The mainstream media say Edwards' palace is actual...The mainstream media say Edwards' palace is actually only 28000 square feet.

As my better half succinctly stated: "The ick factor is just too high on this one for it to be public." I guess that's why the main stream media decided to avoid it as well, they still have morals. (insert sarcasm here).<BR/><BR/>The thing that really struck me was his appeal for sympathy. The line where he said: "No one can beat me up more than I've already beaten up myself." Ummmmmm - I'm sorry life is so cruel to you. Really, please accept no public responsibility for your behavior, after all, you were "99% truthful." I think the people that gave their time and money to his campaign have a right to beat him up more than he has done already (See former campaign manager's statement). Other than that, I'm looking forward to how UNC spins this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-23310251615246161822008-08-09T11:05:00.000-04:002008-08-09T11:05:00.000-04:00It's Edwards.
