I know for those of us who watched him stand in the line of fire for Dave find it hard to swallow.
Joe Cheshire was Davids lawyer, Wade Smith was the lawyer for Collin Finnerty.

Hope this link works. It's nails all of Edwards hypocrisy.

Edwards isn't the only hypocrite nailed.

The media has egg all over its face for this one.

Don't they practice in the same firm?

"Then and there, some horses will get traded and the pretty pony will get fitted for some prison khakis."

Let's hope those Khakis have a "made in the USA label in them as a reminder of his humble beginning.
On another note, I saw an interview on CNN tonight with a reporter from the Charlotte Observer who stated that the sale of the home in Charlotte to Providence Road Trust did not go through for some reason and that Hunter is living currently in a rental home. He went on to say he was puzzled by the fact that Edwards would move her to Charlotte instead of a larger city where she would not be so easily recognized.

I was reading some of the recent stuff (oddly timed) that praises Elizabeth Edwards greatness (it all comes from the Big Press (Wash. Post, ABC News, NBC, etc.)), and I'm struck that we really need to speak frankly.

There are these pieces written in the biggest media and they talk about how Elizabeth could or should've been the one running for office and that she is so smart and a great person - and they offer up a qualification for President - that she has suffered the loss of a child.

We need to shut that that kind of stuff down. That has nothing to do with qualification and capacity for office. Sure, I feel sorry for her - but I feel really bad when I see people at the hospital that have cancer that I don't even know. It has not a thing to with being President or Vice President, nor Attorney General.

These lies (or non-sequiter) get repeated and go unquestioned and they take hold in the national debate or judgment. It is a effective tactic by the big media. Notice who benefits from these non sequiters based on emotion or sympathy.

Go looking for the articles from ABC, NBC, and Wapo stating that Sarah Palin would be a great President because she has had the experience of a child with Down's syndrome - or that it would apply in any way whatsoever in politics.

Mason - what you wrote is so true. There seems to exist in this country the belief that because one has endured some tragedy one therefore "deserves" or would be "great at" some political office or honor. There jas been this kind of talk about New Orleans and the Superbowl - that the Saints "deserve" to win the NFC championship and now the Superbowl because of Hurricane Katrina. This sort of inane gibberish was spouted over and over again by the sports commentators during the pregame show as well as during the game itself last week. The Saints should deserve a win because they are the better team - more talented, better coached, more versatile etc. (though for the record, since I am a Colts fan I think that while they are good they are not as good as the Colts) and because, next Sunday, they play the better game. It has nothing at all to do with Katrina.

While EE has most definitely had tragedy in her life - I cannot imagine what it would be like to lose a child in such a way and to have been given a cancer diagnosis such as she has been given especially when one has young children would be difficult at best, and then to have an unfaithful spouse to boot - but, tragedy is not a qualification for office nor does it endow one with special abilities to govern. All of us know people who have suffered - good people who have had terrible things happen to them - but not for a moment would we think that that alone qualifies them for public office. So EE is a lawyer - how ha she used that degree - has she practiced? What body of work has she done that would give her some insight, abilities, etc. to run for office? I do not think being married and having children, per se, is enough. As a female, what annoys me about EE is the very same thing tha annoyed me (okay, angered is probably the better word here in both cases) about Hillary - both were so enthralled to and with their husbands that they allowed themselves to be manipulated into publicly lying about their husbands indiscretions/unfaithfulness while at the same time talking about how faithful they are to the American people and will and are foing great things for them. That is hypocrisy at its most blatant. While no fan of Jenny Sanford - at least one can say this about her - she did not cover for her husband - as painful as it was for her and her children.


I do not think that this whole Edwards, EE, and Hunter saga has spent its 15 minutes in the sun. Watching the Wade Smith interview again, it is very clear that there are issues (my betting is on campaign funding irregularities) which are extremely serious facing both Breck Boy and his soon to be former wife. Probably the only thing that will save EE from time in an orange jumpsuit will be her cancer.

Journalistic malpractice!

Put this book together with Game Change and truly, THIS should be the center of an earthquake of outrage!

Everyone agrees I should have "consumer" protection and know everything about my toaster oven, it's manufacturer, its possible harm. I must be informed of the fertilizer that helped my tomatoes grow or the stuff that chicken on my plate...ate. If I buy a home, every defect needs by law to be disclosed to me.

But electing politician with power over my lives and my tax dollar?...no necessity for the journalists "on the Job" to disclose anything THEY DO NOT WANT TO! They can do what no farmer or corporation or manufacturer can legally do....sell me a product THEY KNOW is defective!

So I can be scammed, and lied to, misinformed and cheated of the ability to make a responsible vote in my own interest.

Why , with these two books coming so close together...is this outrage not even being discussed?

I keep thinking that the "natural justice" that both the Edwards "deserve" is the sex tape going viral on the internet.

Even though I'm not in NC, I have despised Edwards because of the way he got himself elected to the Senate in the first instance.

" Edwards’ implosion will be studied with a breathless sense of awe for generations because of the senator and his wife’s messianic belief in the power of their fraudulence—the sheer size of the canyon that separated who they are from what they are.

If there is one central takeaway from the new books and news reports about the Edwardses, it is that they were the opposite of who they said they were, and their careers were campaigns devoted to proving these falsehoods were real. The Edwardses did not employ subterfuge as much as they were constructed from it, utterly confident in their unique abilities to fool all of the people all of the time.

Senator Edwards attempted to symbolize a cure for the disparate “Two Americas,” but the Edwardses were the living embodiment of the Two Americas, preaching empathy for the little guy while living in baronial splendor in a 30,000 square foot mansion, jonesing on corporate jets, playing around with designer labels, and treating aides like serfs.

• Secrets from the Edwards Tell-All Then there was Edwards’ Sixteen Candles character arc—the cinematic stud who can get any girl, but who goes for the plain girl nonetheless, and remains faithful to her. Edwards was prone to waxing on about his love for his seemingly homespun wife, even gaudily renewing his wedding vows in 2007 despite videographer Rielle Hunter’s entrance into his life. Fresh-faced family man Edwards, it turns out, had developed the habit of disappearing from his house in the middle of the night and leaving his hotel room in the wee hours of the morning to go on mysterious “jogs.”

Another mantra of the MSM are references to "closure" and healing". I was reading a comment posted by someone from New Orleans about the Saints' win last Sunday. This person made reference to this win as "the healing is complete".

The terms "Closure" and "Healing" are used by the MSM only if it fits the political metanarrative. Some things are like Original Sin and can never be overcome.

Slavery, for example.

Didn't see Wade's interview, but read this:

Edwards' attorney, Wade Smith, said in an interview that Edwards wrestled with the decision to come forward but took so long to do it because "he's not the only person involved in this."

"It's a complex family situation, and he had to keep in mind that other people have concerns and worries about it," Smith said.

Smith said there would never be a logical explanation for why Edwards initially denied being the father. But he added that Edwards was "very pleased" to finally set the record straight.

"To say that life has been hard for John Edwards for the past year would be an enormous understatement," Smith said. "His life has totally fallen apart. It's been a very difficult time for him. He recognizes that he has been at fault."

Yes indeed difficult brought on by his own hubris. I suppose Smith's job now will be to paint Edwards as a victim of the "moonbat".
