Looks like Breck won’t have to worry about being the pretty boy in the slammer.
Instead of “to big to fail” he’s to pretty to jail.
In the coverage of this on Fox News one pundit mentioned that the jury was “weird”, that four or five of them began dressing alike, one of them “flirted” with John Edwards and I :::thought:::: the flirter was a male but I might be mistaken.
Of everything John Edwards might be, a homosexual is likely not one of them.
In an effort to enliven debate on this thread, my husband, a staunch conservative, comes in from the store. I shout out about the Edwards verdict, did he hear?
“It was a mistrial,” he responds, thus I supposed he had the verdict.
I began to rant and rave about dumb juries and on and one. Husband stops quiet, in thought to say something as I know the pose.
“It’s just that,” husband said, slowly, searching for the words, “as I understand it, Pat, they just didn’t understand the law.”
This comment gave me pause.
Okay, so Bunny Mellon gave almost $800,000 to the Edwards campaign. Edwards done got some woman pregnant, well dag, she told him she was using birth control!....so Edwards bought Rielle a house and commenced to pay for her keep as well as the child.
As an aside, go on, I’m running for VP of the United States, some bimbo tells me she’s using birth control...I DON’T BELIEVE HER! I make sure there will be no surprises. But I’m are a wommin and maybe it’s just me.
Well exactly what is the law here?
John Edwards is not a poor man. I’m not sure, though I’ll be reading and hearing more about it all, but I’m not sure it’s all that clear that it was, specifically, Bunny Mellon’s money that was used to take care of Rielle and the child.
On the surface, as I muse, I’m not totally convinced that a man should go to jail for that whole thing.
For now, until I learn more, let me summarize with the thought that if John Edwards is not found guilty of violation of campaign finance laws, NOBODY EVER WILL!!
But darn if our guy, Juan McCain, didn’t waste yea many years of his life on campaign finance reform, not because Americans across the fruited plains couldn’t sleep at night for concern about it, but all to make Juan look like the hand-across-the-aisle he wanted to be perceived as.
All the while a Marxist was arming up, choosing his Communist army, getting money from Planned Parenthood and public service unions, all ready to transform this country while John refused to allow mention of his middle name and continued pushihng his campaign finance reform. I sleep better every night knowing this law finally got passed.
It was a big nothing burger, Juan McCain. Look at the blatant violation by John Edwards, and now the mighty Super Pacs.
He threw away our country with that silly action. This is the BIG lesson we have learned from this John Edwards flap.
