Wesley Edwards, the brother of presumptive Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. John Edwards, was convicted of driving drunk in Waterville (Maine)in 1990.

Cut the guy some slack. His dad worked in a mill.
And his parents had a real small house (none of us here, of course, ever lived in an efficiency apartment or rented a room) where his older brother John Edwards lived until he was about three months old, when they moved "on up" to the East Side, to a deluxe mansion in the sky. But the babyhood experience of living in a hovel caused a t'urrible amount of emotional distress in John and, also, his brother who was born 13 years later and had to turn to drink to forget what, like his older brother, he never experienced.
Not just the Edwards brothers, but also Jimmy and Billy Carter, Bill Clinton and his brother (though Billy Clinton certainly isn't a choir boy either), and the Kennedy boys. John and Robert were the acheivers, whereas Teddy is the family drunk.
OUI? What, is he french?
LOLOL..........oui.....or is it si si
I'm a Clemson guy, and Edwards walked on the football team at Clemson. I'm still not voting for him.
Hey, I'm the most loyal Republican around, I worship Reagan and Bush, but I have to ask: So what?
If we're guilty for our brothers' sins, then doesn't the President have to answer for his idiot brother Neil?
Of course not.
This is a non-issue.
Completely correct. This one gets posted frequently but with different Titles.
And this has what to do with anything?
Speaking of French.
How can you tell if a bicycle race is the Tour de France?
The winner wears a yellow jersey and when he crosses the finish line he throws his hands in the air?
And? Your point is?
Look this means nothing. This guy is entitled to a private life. Let's back off.
Let's not open Pandora's box on presidential siblings (see Neil Bush)...let's judge the actual candidates.
