What’s the difference between the Edwards story and the Larry Craig story?
Well aside from the trivial facts that Edwards is a former VP nominee for the Demagogue Party and a recent “top 3” Presidential candidate...... the Edwards story would seem to have far more ‘there’ there (if it can be substantiated), since a mistress and a love-child while your wife dies of cancer is a far far bigger deal than some toe-tapping in an airport restroom.
The fact that the MSM goes wild over the Larry Craig story (which was indeed legitimate) while refusing to approach the Edwards story shows how extreme their biases really are.

I don’t usually post on threads like this, but the National Enquirer story looks lawsuit-proof from a legal standpoint. Placing bets on whether Edwards sues for libel.
Now..... why now? Who benefits?
The NE is owned and run, and legally vetted, by Clinton crony David (Jiminy Cricket) Kendall. Edwards is (was) being seriously considered as Obama’s Veep pick.
Connect the dots

Wow, he sure is cold. He does this to his wife when she’s terminally ill, they have small kids, they’ve already lost a child. I had heard he was supposed to make a statement on tv today about it, guess that was a rumor. I cannot BELIEVE the way nothing is on tv about this. As far as MSNBC, they wouldn’t cover it if he did it with one of their wives, they’re so OCD over the Dems.

Edwards, too, may be a sex hypocrite...since the affair has been going on long enough to produce a "love child", it was probably at least in its early stages about the time Edwards was standing with his wife, who does have cancer, and talking about how much he loved her and was going to help her fight her illness - sounds like hypocrisy to me.......

She kind of looks like Hugh Laurie (as Bertie Wooster) wearing a wig. Wait until Aunt Agatha gets them ... I don't think even Jeeves could help.

I dont like Edwards and I think his wife is a Grade A B*tch, but even she doesnt deserve this. Neither do their kids.I agree.

It's the same game plan that worked to sanitize the John Kerry/Alex Polier mess.
