Unlike John Edwards, when I have sex it is always very chivalrous. Jay McInerney thinks highly of my hair, my sex partners, and the drugged sex we all enjoy, so I'm getting a kick of of my own reply here.

Don't start trying to defend Edwards' actions, that's exactly the kind of crap the neocons do. He's f*cking wrong in what he did, no matter what she has ever done with her own life.

We have a winner! Thread over!

None of that changes the fact that he's a douchebag

Yes. Now if he'd just disappear, I'd be pleased.

Jone Edwards the Slick Lawyer or the Slick Psychic?

Why so riled up? I'm more annoyed at all the freakin' news coverage this is getting than anything else. The guy had an affair--big deal. Happens all the time--just ask McCain. It's a private matter, he worked it out with his wife years ago, and they should just be left alone.

For the record, I'm not defending Edwards. I just have never understood why we have to have others' affairs shoved down our throats 24/7 by the media.

What amuses me about the story is the fervent hope some in the right wing "blogosphere" have that it will somehow reflect badly on Obama and hurt his campaign. Unless Obama was tag teamin' this chick with Edwards, though, I don't see it.

And it was also a chance for that same "blogosphere" to claim they have concrete proof of liberal bias in the "MSM". That is, they could keep saying "Hey, the MSM is ignoring this affair but reporting on Republican affairs!" But until Edwards confessed, there was nothing that any reputable news organization could have gone with. And when he did, they jumped all over it.

They're still victims somehow, they just haven't figured out the details yet.

So John Edwards slept with a drug-addled trollop, and Rielle Hunter slep with a Presidential candidate.

It seems she had better judgment than he did.

jake_lex: What amuses me about the story is

What amuses me is how close this guy came to having his name on the ticket in one form or another, when he knew damn well that his scumminess would be revealed.

Oh, wait, that isn't amusement. Never mind.

Patrick Bateman approves.

McInerney is a legendary asshat.

FuturePastNow: when he knew damn well that his scumminess would be revealed.

I think you underestimate politicians' egos. Of course he thought he could get away with it.

I hope there's a special place in hell for douchebags that put themselves in the middle of things like this, as if their opinion matters.

Meh, I'd hit it.


_{/Not that much older than me.
//Looks like she knows some fun moves in the sack.
///Damn shame it's gonna end Edward's political career.}

What the hell kind of grown man talks to the farking media about his exes? That's so low-rent.

Did anyone think she was a sweet innocent woman?

I haven't followed this that much, but when two adults have sex, knowing one of them is married, "sweet" and "innocent" aren't likely adjectives used to describe either of them.

/Bright Lights, Big City was a good book, but, yeah, this guy's a real dickwad.

Dogberry: I think you underestimate politicians' egos. Of course he thought he could get away with it.

Well... you're right. Dude is a walking ego.

The Democratic Party should revoke his membership for life. Kick him out permanently.

She's a trollop? Shouldn't she be boinking John McCain then? I hear he likes trollops.

She's a trollop? I wonder if she has a D-hopper?

I think it's high time that the influence of drug-addled trollops in our society was spotlighted.

Who are they? What do they want? (Besides that?) Where can they be found?

Drug-addled trollops demand penetrating coverage.

Mordant: Don't start trying to defend Edwards' actions, that's exactly the kind of crap the neocons partisans do. He's f*cking wrong in what he did, no matter what she has ever done with her own life.

You don't know what neocon means. People defend politicians because of partisan politics, not because of ideology. And no matter how much you wish it weren't true, Democrats do it just as much as Republicans.

I think I have a case of irrelevance in my belly. Also, I don't imagine an upstanding thoughtful woman sleeping with another womans wife. Obvious tag much?

Did someone mention 'trollop'? That's what this guy publicly called his wife.

Arnold T Pants: You don't know what neocon means. People defend politicians because of partisan politics, not because of ideology. And no matter how much you wish it weren't true, Democrats do it just as much as Republicans.

As is obvious from the large amounts of Democrats in this thread defending Edwards.

What had me in stitches about this article is that it is supposedly a defense of Ms. Hunter by a friend yet the article slyly inserts all sorts of scandalous details that make her come off as a whore. And a chance to hype his books.

With friends like this who needs enemies.

Wait, you're saying Elizabeth Edwards is a drug-addled trollop?

/ oh, wait, the other gal

There are whores in every social and economic class. She banged Edwards and, allegedly, got pregnant by one of his senior campaign staff at roughly the same time. Stay classy lady.

The "nuts and sluts" defense rears its ugly head once again.

So what?

I'm the guy who used to sit in the back Rubio's with Billy dealing pot in his novel "Less Than Zero".

True. And he didn't even change my name.

Obdicut: As is obvious from the large amounts of Democrats in this thread defending Edwards.

Which proves? Why don't you take a gander at DU or DailyKos.

OK, whom John Edwards is farking or has farked in the past is news...why, again? What public office is he running for? This reflects on B. Hussein Osama...how, exactly?

I would be more interested in this if it affected me at all.

Deflecting the controversy as "so what, others do it" is essentially the same thing. I've seen republicans get called on it with the "buttttt clinton" meme. So yes, there are those in this thread, if not defending, at least deflecting.

I thought McInerney died a long time ago. Guess that was just his relevance.

Man, I can't wait till this election is over.

The only thing REMOTELY interesting about this whole Edwards pile of shiat is that the MSM was either completely clueless or didn't want to report this, and the Enquirer was actually right.

Bash the woman all you want but Edwards is the one thats married, not her.

A guy hoping to sell more copies of his books people last read 20 years ago?

Just my thought.

I hope the MSM WAS ignoring this. It ain't like Edwards was on the ticket anymore. Why anyone should care is beyond me.

gimmeabreak: Bash the woman all you want but Edwards is the one thats married, not her.



Yeah, it's too bad that she's so lacking in morals that she would have an affair with an obviously married man.

RocketRod: I'm the guy who used to sit in the back Rubio's with Billy dealing pot in his novel "Less Than Zero".

Correction: it was Pages Restaurant, which was on Rubio Avenue/Ventura Blvd. in Encino.

KeatingFive: I hope the MSM WAS ignoring this. It ain't like Edwards was on the ticket anymore. Why anyone should care is beyond me.



It's just another shining example of the conservative media bias.

Lee Jackson Beauregard: OK, whom John Edwards is farking or has farked in the past is news...why, again? What public office is he running for? This reflects on B. Hussein Osama...how, exactly?

For the 10 millionth time, it is (and was) relevant because 1) Edwards was heavily campaigning (maybe successfully) for the VP spot, and 2) had used his awesome, romantic marriage and his sick wife as campaign props.

Whether there's a media bias story here, I don't have the expertise to know, but there's simply not a tenable argument against the relevance of the story itself.

Riche: Meh, I'd hit it.

Hell to the YES. Just look at her... you know all that crazy, sick shiat you think would be really hot but you never had the nerve to even admit, much less request? She'd do all that stuff. And well.

Just don't fall asleep while she's still there.

What the fark....

How does she go from 'Lisa Druck' to 'Rielle Hunter'?

I mean what the hell happened to make her change, REALLY change,
her name?

That's a bad sign right there.
