I think that he might beat the rap, too. From what I have read, the money was solicited and donated in a way that didn’t explicitly say how it was to be used.

If he gets any sentence, it will be in a low security facility. Democrats don’t want this issue making much news right now.

“With this decision and Obamacare about to be thrown out, June should be a great month.”

Eww, I’m sorry I asked.

Does Edwards really wear a toupee, though?

What's a merkin?

Merkin (first use 1617)[1] is a pubic wig. Merkins were originally worn by prostitutes after shaving their genitalia, and are now used as decorative items, erotic devices, or in films, by both men and women.

Whether its jail time or not The Silky Pony will not ride on the political landscape ever again. Bimbo Rielle is the clear winner here. Lets hope he mans up to his children and does them some good the rest of his days.

Where is the trial? Millions of jurors would sympathize with Edwards, may have voted for him for v.p. Tarheels will be particularly moved to acquit.

The trial is in Greensboro, N.C.

Normally I would say sympathetic crowd but he is not thought of very highly after his shenanigans.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they find him guilty but he gets some minor sentence, ie. a fine, community service, etc.
I will be surprised if he actually sets foot in a prison.
