They still don't know the exact name of the medical condition but the symptoms are uncontrollable cr*pping in the pants for fear of going to jail.

I wonder if he’s taking a page out of his late wife’s book. Get sick, avoid serious questions.

How I pity his children.

Will he sue some medical company for his illness? After all, is that not how he gathered his fortune?

The FUnnie thing is that my stairwell has a mountain of packs of Depends because I recently had to get them via coupons (they were FREE) in order to get the Walgreens Register Rewards to buy a bunch of Axe Shower gel. If John Edwards contacts me I would be happy to send him a bunch of Depends to see him thru his trial and his meeting with cellmate, Big Bubba.

Maybe one of those doctors he sued and screwed over can treat him.

What is kind of funny is that he stayed in the race to screw Hillary and help Obama. Obama then prosecutes him. I feel sorry for his kids. The adults in that clan brought down a lot of bad karma. The kids did not deserve those parents.

Why Sharks Circle You Before Attacking

Two great white sharks swimming in the ocean spied survivors of a sunken ship. “Follow me son” the father shark said to the son shark and they swam to the mass of people.

“First we swim around them a few times with just the tip of our fins showing.” And they did.

“Well done, son! Now we swim around them a few times with all of our fins showing.” And they did.

“Now we eat everybody.” And they did.

When they were both gorged, the son asked, “Dad, why didn’t we just eat them all at first? Why did we swim around and around them?”

His wise father replied, “Because they taste better without the shit inside!”

There’s always a first time, but this is the first time I’ve heard of a trial being delayed over a severe case of chlamydia.

The Disraeli quote was the BEST. Actually quite HILARIOUS especially since he came up with it on the spur of the moment.

I also like what then Governor Ronald Reagan told Bob Hope: “I am happy to announce that the California Legislature passed a resolution declaring you an outstanding citizen of this state. ...I vetoed it.”
