Edwards is a phony. I think that some right-wing televangelists have been phony in a very similar way. So whatever is learned from studying Edwards might, in the long run, help the right.
If you don't want to think about the long run, that's okay. Focus on Edwards. He's a Dem and he's a phony. Identify other such Dem phonies. That would be a public service, and also a service to the Democratic Party. In the short term, it might be bad for Democratic PR, but in the long run it's good for the Democratic Party.
Which "right-wing televangelists" might you be speaking of, dear boy? Falwell's dead. Most of the others were apolitical, aside from Fred Phelps and his little clan of shit-filled meatsacks, and they're DEMOCRATS.
Edwards is worse than a phony--he's evil. Yeah, evil. He created a child out of wedlock with a skank while his wife was with terminal cancer, and paid out of donated funds to keep it quiet (sounds awfully familiar too, who was that guy...oh yeah--Jesse Jackson!) His at best frivolous lawsuits where he "channels" kids served no purpose other than to enrich himself. It created a void in the medical community where doctors were driven from their practices in droves because they simply couldn't afford the skyrocketing insurance rates, thanks to Edwards and others of his ilk. Hint: Think of the, "Have you taken XXXXX?" SUE SOMEONE!" commercials inundating our airwaves.
