John Edwards has a life-threatening heart condition that requires surgery and his trial has been delayed, according to reports Friday.

I find it curious that the same conservative website (FR) that poured forth prayers and good wishes for Bill Clinton when he had his heart attack and went under the knife, has thus far, been unable to generate any such sentiments for John Edwards.

Is it really that hard to figure out? Maybe the people don't believe the "life-threatening" part. It's just a tad bit too convenient for Mr. Edwards. bill clinton's condition was well-documented.

What kind of “life threatening” heart condition would require the surgery to be delayed until February instead of having it done immediately?

That was my take on it also except John, himself, was just as much a lying scumbag as that ugly, foul-mouthed wife of his! I feel sorry for their kids having to live with that legacy, but those ill-gotten millions will certainly assuage their guilt, eh?

I’m sure he’s hoping to be treated better than he has treated family with life-threatening medical problems. There’s a real irony.

Karma always comes around quicker than you think, John. I hope your mistress dumps your ass, too.

I have to admit that I followed the Edwards saga in a somewhat cowering position. While I felt it was important as a key to assessing Edward’s character, it was also about marriage and personal conflict and that’s where I tend to bow out. When it comes to Edward’s affair, the mistress, the child, the wife, the betrayal, the cancer and the death, I leave that to God to deal with. That being said, my Mom lived her entire life with a deadly heart condition; I’m not buying this.
