Was Edwards part of the most ethical congress before he left?
Same question for William “Cold hard cash” Jefferson.
Maybe they can share a room at the minimum security golf academy.

GOOD POINT. If the MSM is covering this it means the DEMS are throwing him to the dogs. Why should we help?

That’s the cool liberal “I’m an artist” look... (of course none of them ARE artist - but it “feels” good to them to pretend.

Corruption is 100% in the Democrat party. It’s a prerequisite in fact. If you aren’t corrupt, you can’t join, and if you aren’t corrupt enough, they will bring a new member up to standards in short order.

I can’t believe she brought the baby. Attempts at sympathy votes can often backfire. Dumb.

Why would she bring the toddler to court while attempting to sneak into a back entrance?

"Artist" is just another name for welfare recipient who likes to play with paint. Just as they give methadone to regular welfare recipiet drug addicts, they give extra funds to welfare recipients addicted to paint thinners.

You’re right. We also have corruption, but we try to root it out. For liberals, it’s a prerequisite to power.

I wonder if Edwards was seen as a serious threat to Obama and had to be “taken out”, a la Jack Ryan.

Her publicist can charge more for the photos if the baby is in them.

It's a "other woman" thing. She can't help herself from flaunting their love child in from of Mrs. Edwards, especially after listening to her on Oprah saying she was just a one time thing for her "had a moment of weakness" breck girly man hubby.

Maybe it's her way of getting back at Edwards for his paternity denials. Can a Grand Jury order a paternity test?

Read somewhere that the aide who formerly said he was the father has recently signed a book deal where he will reportedly name Edwards as the father.

What a low-class skank: wearing pants and a blouse to court, having all those black roots showing and her her scraped back in a ponytail as if she were twelve. We see what Edwards’s tastes are. And bringing her baby to an adult proceeding. Vile woman.

She could have had Elizabeth watch the baby for a few hours while she went to court.

LOL!! No, just thought she showed no respec’; and this is the little song we sing in our neighborhood when someone shows no respec’. Going to the courthouse like that — it’s a sin.

Swab a few mouths and send it off to a DNA lab. Can it get anymore painless?

Edwards had plenty of his own money with which to pay "hush" money. If he followed the Democrat instinct to always use other people's money (in the form of campaign money) he is really a dumb@ss.

Hillary is probably getting "wood" watching Edwards roasting on the spit.
