#19-Phydeau

Looks like I hooked a nerve… cheating on your wife are you? Or in your case would that be life partner?

Again, you are whistling past the graveyard when you use the “everybody else does it” defense.

Phydeau says:

#20 “Doddging” the point I see. And still not answering the question in #13.

No one here is saying it’s OK what he did. Only a moron could not understand that. We’re just pointing out your obvious wingnut hypocrisy criticizing him for what he did but not criticizing the many Republicans who did what he did.

And BTW… all the research shows that you pious moralizing red-staters are far more likely to cheat than us liberal blue-staters. FYI.

Dr Dodd says:

#22-Phydeau-all the research shows that you pious moralizing red-staters are far more likely to cheat than us liberal blue-staters.

What research? I hate to tell you but wishful thinking, voices in your head, or sweet whispers from your life size rubber dolly doesn’t count as research.

#25–Phydeau==I think you missed Doodypants completely. Those well reported studies on the character differences between liberals and conservatives “somehow” did not make it onto Faux News. You can’t really expect Dr Doodypants and the other dittoheads here to have heard about anything so elite can you? Academic Studies??? Who needs them.

I’ll have to wait until Bush’s Secretary of Defense finishes in Iraq before I forgive myself though.

lol I’m gonna step out of the mud puddle now, Doddger. You are king of the mud, congratulations.

#31 – you got that right. There are no innocents here.

What Clinton did was far worse than simply cheating on his wife. He cheated IN THE OVAL OFFICE. He essentially cheated on the Office of the President of the United States. Considering that America undeniably (except to the retarded) the most important nation the Earth has ever seen and superior to all other nations, that is the highest office of the human race. You do not disrespect the office of POTUS. Even Kennedy didn’t do that.

All that being said, Edwards is a sack of crap and thank god it all came out to end his political career. We’re all better off for it.

don’t let a Republican be alone with your daughter (he’ll hit on her) and don’t let a Democrat drive your daughter home (she’ll drown in a car accident).

Phydeau says:

#32 LCSN, that’s pretty funny.

chris says:

John Edwards is no Bill Clinton.

For the Clinton/BJ compares to Bush/War crowd I’ve heard it best as: I’d rather vote for a guy that screws around rather than one that screws the entire country.

John Edwards is a special variant of scumbag, though. First the wifey has cancer. You might call that advanced planning, but seriously folks.

Then he paid the woman through the campaign for promo spots. If you’ve ever seen the videos it seems like a porn intro. Here’s my limo, here’s my jet, here’s my…

Then take into account that he was still a political player when the rumors started to swirl. He competed in a few extra primaries and had a material impact on the history of the country by splitting the union crowd with HRC. All of this when he KNEW it would eventually be revealed.

Last is that he used campaign personnel to take credit for his lovechild, and parked the tootsie at a major donor’s house.

All of this is dirtier than a Hitler-Youth pope or a pill-popping moralist talk show host. For that election cycle Edwards holds the crown for best scandal. Keep in mind that there were dirtier scumbags, but none with a closer grasp on power.

Lysol.
