More about Edwards over on Drudge this morning.

Says its breaking. Enquier has a picture of him with love child.

This whole thing makes me sick. It doesn't matter if its true on not. Edwards is done. I really believe that.

When did we become such puritans? Is this the Clinton legacy?

Edwards has so much to offer so many people. And I don't think he will make it past this one. Just my opinion but it is kind of what I feel in my gut.

5. Because sometimes the Enquirer gets it right.
   I was an Edwards supporter right up to the end. I just hate to see him go out this way.

I'm sick of this preoccupation we have with people's personal lives.

4. Not sure if you meant to or not but.....
   You managed to slam both Edwards and Clinton in one post. Think about it.

Is Bill Clinton back in the DU Good Graces?  I thought he was satan with good hair these days.

12. I don't give a shit about their personal lives.
   But it seems to be a fact of life any more that other people do care. A lot of really heavy hitters have taken huge falls here lately.

11. Even if it is true, why would it upset you?
   I don't know if it's true or not. However, I don't have any less respect for what Edwards is trying to do than I did before.

His personal life and the details thereof are not my business.

Why not?  Don't you care about poor sick dying Elizabeth Edwards?  Aren't John and Elizabeth Edwards the living example of democrat "family values"?   Wasn't the reason it was OK to slam Larry Craig was because it's OK to expose a hypocrite?

Oh look!  I just exposed a hypocrite!

[BannedFromDU]

Let's see...when the Globe printed that Laura had moved out of the White House, it was accepted as fact. After all, it was the mighty Globe!

Now that the Enquirer has the ambulance-chansing faggot dead to rights, with eyewitnesses, it's just a silly tabloid rumor.

Or, we're being Puritans. I see. Time to play another exciting episode of...

WHAT IF A REPUBLICAN DID IT?


If the Enquirer had a Republican dead to rights on a love child, DU would suddenly become Oziie and Harriet and Ward and June rolled into one,
with a big dash of Huxtable tossed in. How DARE that bad old Republican have sex with someone other than his betrothed!


Hypocrites...they all smell the same.

Anyone that cheats on a spouse is about as low as you go in my book. A man that exploits his wife's illness for political gain and THEN cheats on her is below contempt.

I see the DUchebags have yet another one way street.  Personal lives are personal for liberals but are public for conservatives.  My how unusual.

My point is the DUmmies and their ilk justify exposing "right wing hypocrites" because these "hypocrites" have set themselves up to a standard - and then violated that standard.

The exact same situation applies to John and Elizabeth Edwards.  Edwards presents his marriage to Elizabeth as being the center of his life and the reason he exists.  Edwards has set himself to as a standard - and then violated that standard.

If DUmmies and their ilk were not the biggest hypocrites and liars in the world, they would be raking Edwards over hot coals for his situation.  Since they are not, and since they have resorted back to "it's personal and nobody's business", then they have nowhere to turn the next time they want to expose the hypocrisy of some conservative who didn't live up to his perceived standard.

....and to add insult to injury, I read somewhere that just before the little "bastard" was born, daddy "bastard" got a 'Father of the Year' award.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Cheating on a spouse is one of those marital crises that comes along, not necessarily unrecoverable if it happens in a brief timeframe and both can put it behind them...some couples can do it, some can't.  However, betrayal of a dying spouse just makes you a dyed-in-the-wool worthless f*cking son-of-a-bitch.

I hope the new mom hires a good lawyer and takes that sleazeball to the cleaners. 

It would be a fitting end to Edwards' career.

Aparently the new mom's deepest desire is for Elizabeth to keel over, so she can marry da baby daddy.  She's already got her eyes on half his stuff, and without even an attorney's fee.

True, she can get him all the way to the Wealth Extraction Tumbler in the back of the laundry by just demanding marriage with no pre-nup.

And in honor of the potential nuptuials:

[Jamie Foxx]
She take my money, well I'm in need
Yeah she's a triflin' friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digger way over time
That digs on me

[Chorus:]
(She steal me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas (She steal me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head


[Verse 1:]
[Jamie Foxx's lyrics repeated across verse]
Cutie da bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
With a baby Louis Vuitton
Under her under arm
She said I can tell you rock
I can tell by ya charm
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
but I'm lookin' for the one
have you seen her?
My psychic told me she gonna have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An' I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
Okay get ya kids but then they got they friends
I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
We all went to din and then I had to pay
If you ****in' with this girl then you betta' be paid
You know why
Take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she used to **** with Usher
I don't care what none of y'all say I still love her

[Chorus:]
(she steal me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas (she steal me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head


[Verse 2:]
[Jamie Foxx's lyrics repeated across verse]
18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo' kids, got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin' child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV, any given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was supposed to buy ya shorty Tyco with ya money
She went to the doctor got lipo with ya money
She walkin' around lookin' like Michael with ya money
Shoulda' got that insured, GEICO for ya moneeey(your money)
If you ain't no punk holla' we want pre-nup
WE WANT PRE-NUP!, yeah
It's something that you need to have
'Cause when she leave yo' ass she gon' leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday, he found out it wasn't his?

[Chorus:]
(she steal me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas (she steal me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
but she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head

Now I ain't sayin' you a gold digger, you got needs
You want a dude to smoke, but he can't buy weed
You go out to eat, can't pay, y'all can't leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But while y'all washin', watch him
He gon' make it to a Benz out of that Datsun
He got that ambition, baby look in his eyes
(Jamie Foxx comes in)
This week he's moppin' floors, next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know this dude's ballin, and yeah that's nice
And they gon' keep callin' and tryin'
But you stay right, girl
But when you get on, he leave yo' ass for a white girl


Get down girl, go 'head get down
Get down girl, go 'head get down
Get down girl, go 'head get down
Get down girl, go 'head
(She take my money)
Let me hear that back

[Donpeyote]

 How cute (It has his hair)

When did we become such puritans? Is this the Clinton legacy?

It has absolutely nothing to do with being a puritan. Clinton is no longer president...I don't care who he ****s, blows, or smokes cigars with. What Edwards has done is disgusting. His wife is DYING. He has small children. He can't keep it in his pants but he wants to dictate morals to us? Whatever else one thinks of her, Elizabeth appears to be a loving mother. She went on the campaign trail (not exactly an easy thing even assuming perfect health) even though she was ill...TO HELP HER SELF ABSORBED HUSBAND win the dem nomination. The man is a pig and the best thing that could happen would be for Elizabeth to make a full recovery and take this rat bastard for everything he has.
