Just hours after ABC's Nightline broadcast an interview in which former North Carolina Senator John Edwards confessed an extramarital affair, CNN Saturday Morning co-anchor Melissa Long spoke of the ex-Democratic candidate in glowing terms, calling Edwards someone who was "much loved, worked for the poor, a man who was self-made, and all about integrity and honesty."

After elevating Edwards to such heights, she asked CNN deputy political editor Paul Steinhauser to consider "all of that and this stunning admission" and speculate as to "what type of political career could this man have going forward."

LOL! Hey Melissa! Have you been having private meetings with the Silky Pony late at night at the Beverly Hilton?

[goldstategop]

Did Melissa service him in exchange for such glowing praise?

Sort of puts a cement veneer over the nails over the binding straps over the lead weight over CNN’S credibility coffin.

[Lizavetta]

What a pile of crap that is.

Of all the things John "Love Lips" Edwards is, lovable IS NOT one of them.

a man who was .......all about integrity and honesty

I see him reporting on the election for Al-Jazeera.

[PJ-Comix]

Just curious. Was Melissa Long on the campaign trail following Edwards? Just how close was her coverage if so?

[goldstategop]

Extremely close. I don't want to think about what that means.

CNN has done such a great job of reporting about Edwards’ extramarital fiasco. They have zero credibility, and don’t deserve any.

“what type of political career could this man have going forward.”

He could go back to chasing ambulances.

[goldstategop]

Chasing ambulances with pretty skirts in them. No dying wives allowed!

Funny. What a schmuck Edwards is, and what a laughable pile of dung CNN is. How would you like to have to say like stuff that to get paid?

[Coffee200am]

Holy Crap! What a stooge.

[goldstategop]

We know where CNN's integrity and honesty is. In the cultural sewer.

It is me or do liberal infobabes have no respect for themselves?

I think it’s jealousy over Rielle Hunter.

“much loved, worked for the poor, a man who was self-made, and all about integrity and honesty.”

Who the hell ever believed ANY of that?

Dog cather?
Sewer Inspector?
Maybe he should just go back to being an ambulance chaser..

B. O’reilly sent a reporting crew down to N.C. to talk to Edwards neighbors. They couldn’t find ONE person who liked him! NOT ONE!
