Balfegor said...: But part of Young's disillusionment with the 2004 vice presidential candidate and 2008 candidate came one day as he went through a stack of DVDs at Rielle Hunter's house.

Now why would a man do that? That's just a bit creepy. Though I suppose the article says right out that Young was a bit of an Edwards cultist. Or maybe he was just looking for a blank DVD, found an unmarked one, popped it in the computer, and discovered a horrible, horrible surprise waiting for him?; 1/25/10, 8:58 PM

If he was up for reelection sooner, those near-homoerotic pics of him with Silky would be political gold.; 1/25/10, 9:04 PM

Peter V. Bella said...: Instead of Elizabeth ripping her blouse open, she is going rip him a new one.

Look, Rod Blagojevich turned his disgrace around. He is the new celebrity idiot. John Edwards can make hay too. He can be the new porno politician.; 1/25/10, 9:21 PM

Srsly, why?
Even if you are good looking, WTF?; 1/25/10, 9:42 PM

Freeman Hunt said...: He shouldn't be striking himself there hard enough to make people say, "Whoa." That could cause permanent damage.; 1/25/10, 9:51 PM

John Stodder said...: "Everyone who sees it says 'whoa.'"

It just hit me that everyone's focusing on the wrong part of this sentence.

Who is "everyone who sees it?"

Who showed it to whom? When?; 1/25/10, 9:57 PM

Though I was going to say that he's the proctologist's dream: a perfect asshole.

But yours is better and you got there first.; 1/25/10, 10:17 PM
Rialby said...: 2 questions:

1) Who will be the frontrunner for the Democrat nomination in 2012? I mean the woman (hint) or man who will take on Barack?
2) When do you think rumors of Vera Baker and the tape she made with BHO will begin to leak from that frontrunner's camp?

Oh, yeah, that was definitely a closet-fest. Even Titus is atwitter at the thought.; 1/25/10, 10:45 PM

William said...: I like the Tiger Woods' scandal better. The sex there was just about sex. The sex here has layers of kink, narcicissism, and venality that are vertigo inducing.; 1/25/10, 11:31 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: Hello, Mr. (Almost) President!; 1/26/10, 12:49 AM
Scott M said...: The thing that really bothers me about this is obvious snapshot into his psyche. A mind, apparently unrestrained by any sort of honor or moral center, that wants to become president so badly that he's willing to convince an associate to take the fall for him. Indeed, said associate's book will allege that Edwards wanted him to steal DNA evidence from the baby so that Edwards could have clandestine paternity tests run.

This guy didn't want to be president so badly because he was just so passionate about helping people. He wanted the power and was willing to commit vile acts to get it.

I'm wondering if this is more the rule than the exception for people aspiring to the highest office in the land.; 1/26/10, 8:26 AM
Scott M said...: I suppose even more disturbing than what I just mentioned is the simple fact that Edwards' judgement was so unbelievably poor that he somehow convinced himself that he would be able to control the info on this scandal. Had he been elected, it would have collapsed around him and he would have probably been forced to resign over it.

That puts the entire country in jeopardy over his blindness to reality...a quality no president can afford to have in any measurable amount.; 1/26/10, 8:32 AM
robinintn said...: Edwards in Haiti. Spitzer a columnist. The're struggling mightily to regain that old time power feeling. I'm still not convinced they're struggling in vain.; 1/26/10, 8:50 AM

Also, where the Hell is Titus for all this?; 1/26/10, 10:05 AM

former law student said...: He was having an affair with a "video documentarian" after all. But she should have sneaked the sex DVDs out of the pile.

Assuming that cancer patient Elizabeth was not feeling very horny during the course of her treatment, I can understand why a virile man like Edwards would look for release somewhere. But I would have suggested a subscription to the Spice Channel instead of an affair.; 1/26/10, 10:35 AM
Beaverdam said...: It's not fair. You can be rich and have perfect hair. But a trifecta! There is no god.

Trooper York said...: How good could it be with only Edwards and a mirror in it?; 1/26/10, 6:09 PM
A.W. said...: btw, this is what really happened. you know how when you repeat a story, it gets altered each time.

Well, someone saw the video and told a friend that, "wow, that video shows me what a giant dick Edwards is." And somehow in repetition, the word "is" became "has."; 1/26/10, 6:25 PM
A.W. said...: FLS

> Assuming that cancer patient Elizabeth was not feeling very horny during the course of her treatment, I can understand why a virile man like Edwards would look for release somewhere.

Wow, FLS, in one sentence you manage to be a complete pig toward Elizabeth, while at the same time excusing disgusting misconduct in a fashion that is more than a little homoerotic.; 1/26/10, 6:32 PM
