(Talking About Politics) Obvious "Edwards' strategy was breathtakingly cynical. Not to mention-to quote him-'egotistical and narcissistic'. By comparison, Richard Nixon's Checkers speech was Churchillian in its dignity and honesty."   (www2.talkingaboutpolitics.com) divider line 25

Churchill frequently used deception and outright lies in his speeches.

Whoever wrote that article needs to ease up on the coke a bit.

Look at this guy, desperately attempting to make and keep Edwards as an issue.

"As the interview went on, the silver tongue that made Edwards what he was - multimillionaire, United States Senator and nearly Vice President and President - turned into Midas-in-Reverse."

I get that he's saying "That which once helped him then began to hurt him" but I think he farked up the literary referance. In fact, I think Midas would have preferred to have "the reverse touch" after a while...

Who cares?

Get a life, people.

It was clunky, yeah. I understand "everything he touched used to turn to gold, now it turns to dog shiat," but that was a pretty awkward way of getting there.

Edwards = Irrelevant asshat.

Nixon = Dead.

Any questions?

More tabloid trash "journalisms"... who cares! Let the Edwards deal with this.

It really is encouraging to see how people on both sides of the aisle are concerned over corruption, like spending campaign money and money raised for fighting poverty going to the pockets of a politician's mistress, and thousands of dollars being paid by 'friends' who certainly never received any sort of quid pro quo from the politician's former time in office and would not have expected any had he been elected. Especially encouraging is how even the most partisan liberal is doing all they can to make sure that handlers like Fred Baron are purged from politics and not now working for their Presidential candidate.

Or not.

Yo, Fark Independants: You were right about Edwards. I admit it.

That makes your score 1 so far. Keep playing, and maybe you can get up to 2 by 2016.

/ you heard it here first.

Wow, what is with all the Edwards knobsuckers on Fark waving their hands and claiming this is just irrelevant?

Here is the proper response: "Cripes, Edwards is an incredible farking sleazebag."

Morans.

The Republicans were't expecting Obama. They have all this swift boat ammunition they were preparing to fire off at other Democrats, but Obama won.

Now the Republicans are acting like Reagan's buddy Hekmatyar, who destroyed Kabul after the Soviet withdrawal using the stuff they left behind and what the Americans sent him. He didn't have any particular goal - he just didn't like Kabul.

Conservatives have been warning against the duplicity of Hillary Clinton and John Edwards for years. It took "sniper fire" and a bastard child for Democrats to finally accept this.

Newsflash: you can believe both. I think Edwards is a sleazebag, but we've got more imporatant things to worry about than a former Senator who had no shot at the presidency and has no shot at the vice presidency and also cheated on his wife.

Therefore, irrelevant.

So the question becomes, what motive do all of these conservative knobsuckers on Fark have in their insistence to drag this story out for as long as at least one person is listening?

Moran.

Jesus fark, hyperbole much?

It is quite amusing watching the fark liberals in every Edwards thread tell everyone that is a none story and to stop talking about it. Why are you commenting about it if you don't care about it? Why are you trying to make everyone stop talking about it?

 
InteriorDesignNinja 2008-08-15 08:50:22 PM  
Whoah WHOAH WHAT'S THIS ABOUT EDWARDS HAVING AN AFFAIR?!? AND WHY WAS THIS NOT COVERED!? Going by mainstream news coverage, you'd think that news only happens in Beijing and the Caucasus.

Hey but Edwards Daddy worked every day of his life down at the mill so y'all stop.

I don't like Edwards, I'm glad this knocks him out as possible VP, but it is NOT relevant to ANYTHING but the Gossip page.
