Oh, and in case you were distracted by all the Michael Jackson music video tributes, terrorists are still killing people and the Iranians are still dying on the streets.

If you absolutely hate talking about your husband having a love child with another woman, then DON'T write a book about his affair and then go on a publicity tour promoting the publication.

However, let's face it, all this renewed attention to the foibles of John Edwards is sure to cause yet more late night comedian jokes.

John Edwards (D-N.C.) put his megaphone down, stopped talking about the "moral shame" of 37 million Americans who live in poverty every day, and started addressing his own "moral shame." Since John confessed on ABC's "Nightline" to his affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, there has been a slow drip of stories: from timeline inconsistencies to Rielle's move from Santa Barbara back to New Jersey.

The phoniest man in American politics is finally getting the comeuppance he so richly deserves. With his $400 haircuts and investments in predatory lenders, all while saying ending poverty was a "moral issue" and the "cause of my life," Edwards set new standards for hypocrisy as he sought the Democratic nomination.
