This exclusive picture just in:

[mplsconservative]

I am not giving him approval, but I think it is low to pile on somebody that is not a candidate.

He is/was on Obama's short list for VP choice.

[Scythian]

I don’t know, I just don’t relish in seeing other people trapped in sin and causing so much termoil to themselves and there families. Imagine his children, this has got to hurt them immensely, frankly, this is one of the worst sides of the FR and has always been. No need to flame, I’m not begging you to stop or crying to mamma, this is just one Freeper that takes no joy in this story.

[Enchante]

He has pledged delegates, his campaign was ‘suspended’ not ended, he was expected to have a prominent role at the DNC in Denver in 3 weeks, he still could have emerged as the VP nominee (before this news) or even conceivably as a compromise Presidential nominee if the convention deadlocked between Obama and Hillary (unlikely, but that sort of thing has happened in the past)..... he was widely expected to be a likely choice for an Obama Atty General...... so yeah, he was still very much in prominent public life before this was is certainly “fair game” for such information to be revealed to the public.

[pissant]

Actually, she’s an evil ‘contractor’ serving our country there. ;o)

[goldstategop]

So much for keeping your marital vows. Infidelity is a career enhancement resume in today's Democratic Party!

[weegee]

Edwards was still being discussed in terms of the Obama administration. He WAS politically viable. A liar and politically viable.

[mplsconservative]

Do these guys think we’re stupid?

Yes.

[Obadiah]

Not a chance!

[Hatteras]

"He is visiting a former girlfriend and her baby but claims he is not the father. "

Let out a little info, let it dissipate, let out a little more, then a little more... Soon the press will tell us that it's old news, it's just about sex, blah, blah, blah...

[adorno]

Yeah right, the kid is not his. Sure. Well, he can't undo all of his lies all in one shot. He'll undo them one at a time.

[jeeperz]

John needs to man up and take the paternity test. If the baby is his...he needs to do the right thing. If the baby is not...then he had an affair. He hurt his wife, his family, his supporters. No winners in this. Still, he needs to take the paternity test.

[ravingnutter]

That was my first reaction too (#200...we posted 1 minute apart), it surprised me that in almost 200 posts, no one else brought that issue up.

[KC Burke]

Maury! Maury! Maury!

[jonrick46]

Makes me wonder with this pattern of deceit if Edwards was having lots of women and using his political status as a magnet to attract those Monica types.

I wonder about Obama. How many women are throwing themselves on him? Does he have the self-discipline to keep himself on the straight and narrow?

We have to question these Democrat's moral fortitude after Bill Clinton opened up the Pandora's Box.

[EnquiringMind]

He has admitted he was at the Beverly Hilton that night, however he says that he is not the father of the baby, he never loved Rielle, and he never gave her money, but some friends or supporters "may have given her some without his knowledge", and yes, The Enquirer has pictures.

Why were you at that hotel at 2 a.m., and why did you run from reporters, you sleaze?

[Enchante]

I don’t take any ‘joy’ in the story but, yes, there is a certain satisfaction in seeing one of the most dishonest and vicious Demagogues brought down by his own uncontrolled pecker. He and his party have been thoroughly depraved both in policies and in how they treat Republican scandals or non-scandals, so, yes, I believe I am justifiably pleased to see the scumbag stopped by his own misdeeds.

[KC Burke]

Maury! Maury! Maury!

[Ceoman]

Probably thought the Olympics opening ceremony will grab the attention away from him....
