Wasn't it the "Inquirer" that broke the Gennifer Flowers/Bill Clinton story?
They forgot to print that John Edwards saw a UFO too.
I love that this story was ignored by the "right wing media" with such conservative outposts like the LA Times instructing its bloggers not to mention it.
I don't know why you or anyone else is sick over this or anything else.
the only thing here that has failed?
, is expectations.
I have no idea what happened between John Edwards and this woman.
I do not believe he loves his dying wife one ioda less for any thing he may have done. How many of you have watched a loved one waste away?
I have.
If Edwards is guilty of anything, he is guilty of being human.
If you curse him, condemn him
you curse yourself, condemn yourself.
Contrary to what many people seem to believe
these peoples' behavior have nothing to do with us or our relationships,
(yes, that is amazing, isn't it)
because this may have happened - has no consequence on whether your partner will be faithful to you or if we should expect our partners to be faithful to us.
We should be faithful. And we should behave in a way that our partners have every opportunity and desire to be faithful to us.
Should any of us end up being human, and doing a "human thing" I hope that thing is less significant than our relationship.
If that "human thing" is more important than your relationship,
than we know how much value you give your relationship
and how much value you give a fuck.
It's a fair point - witness the way some leftie FYM'rs prefer to set aside or ignore allegations regarding Clinton's cheating and philandering, while allegations regarding Clarence Thomas's similar misdeameours are used as a stick to bash him with 15 years later.

The mainstream media's reaction to the National Enquirer's reports on John Edwards' "love child" scandal has been reminiscent of the Soviet press. Edwards' name has simply been completely whitewashed out of the news. Say, why isn't anyone talking about John Edwards for vice president anymore?
I suspect that if I tried to look up coverage of the Democratic primaries in Nexis news archives, Edwards' name will have disappeared from the debates. By next week, Edwards won't have been John Kerry's running mate in 2004.
Do you know what this means? At this precise moment in time, I could call Edwards a name that would send me to rehab, and the media wouldn't be able to report it!

With two weeks to go before their national convention, a number of Democrats are saying that Edwards needs to publicly address National Enquirer stories that have alleged he had an affair with a campaign worker and fathered her baby.
If Edwards fails to clear up the story in short order, he risks party officials deciding not to have him speak or, if they do, creating a distraction from a week focused on Barack Obama accepting the nomination.
"If there is not an explanation that’s satisfactory, acceptable and meets high moral standards, the answer is 'no,' he would not be a prime candidate to make a major address to the convention," said Don Fowler, a former Democratic National Committee chair.
"He absolutely does have to (resolve it). If it's not true, he has to issue a stronger denial," said Gary Pearce, the Democratic strategist who ran Edwards’ 1998 Senate race. "It's a very damaging thing. …
"The big media has tried to be responsible and handle this with kid gloves, but it's clearly getting ready to bust out. If it's not true, he's got to stand up and say, 'This is not true. That is not my child and I'm going to take legal action against the people who are spreading these lies.' It's not enough to say, 'That’s tabloid trash,' " Pearce said.
Edwards' political currency declines with each day the story goes unresolved, Fowler and other Democratic strategists said.
MSNBC is reporting he has confessed to an affair, though denies love child

Hi Pearl,
You are a very young woman.
( I am about twice your age. )
What do you think is the likelihood of something like this happening to you?
