"That's not the John Edwards I knew."

MY HOPES
Tune: "High Hopes"

Next time you choose
To get your name in the news
There's a bridge to be burned
Guess what--you lose

Just what made my Reverend Wright
Think his racist rants were alright
Everyone knows in a tight fight
I need votes that are white

But he hurt my hopes
He hurt my hopes
He hurt my White-House-try don't-deny hopes

So if we've been friends very long
But you do me wrong
There's no longer an "us"
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus

When scandals break
And you've made a mistake
There's a bridge to be burned
My name's at stake

My pal Rezko got me a house
Room for me, my kids, and my spouse
But losin' a trial has aroused doubts
Now I think he's a louse

'Cause he hurt my hopes
He hurt my hopes
He hurt my White-House-try don't-deny hopes

So if you've been a friend of mine
Better get in line
Your turn's comin' like thus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus

('Cause he hurt my hopes
He hurt my hopes
He hurt my White-House-try don't-deny hopes)

So if you make my numbers slip
You'll soon take a trip
Where you're covered with dust
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
Oops, there goes another one under the bus
The bus!

"That's not the John Edwards I knew."

That line is the gift that keeps on giving.

Well I have the title for the Hollywood movie that should be made about the downfall of John Edwards with his hot video-cam mistress:

“SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE”

[well known indy film about adultery, from about 20 years ago, for anyone who doesn't get the reference - the film that made names for Steven Soderbergh and the Sundance Film Festival]

“Hey, Barry! What say we blow this pop stand and go chase some skirt?”

“You’re either on the bus or you’re under the bus.”
