He's been out of the news for a couple of weeks, and that's fine by me. But at breakfast this morning I thought about John Edwards, and an incredible urge to string him up from the goalpost by his mini-sized jock strap came over me. There are plenty of reasons, but one really stands out. Not the cheating, not the cheating on the wife with cancer, not the lying about it or being a horrible example to his kids (each of which would require a lot more than a string-up as punishment).I watched the Dateline episode a few weeks ago (or whatever news program it was) where they profiled his ex-aide, Andrew Young. In a taped phone conversation where Edwards was trying to convince Young to claim paternity over the Edwards/Rielle Hunter child, Edwards was quoted as telling Young "The fate of the free world is in your hands."
Gimme a W! Gimme a T! Gimme an F! Whatcha got? EDWARDS!
This guy wasn't president. He wasn't vice president. He wasn't even his party's nominee to BE president! Yet he has the arrogance (even if the expression was made out of fear of being exposed) to tell his aide that the world is going to take a nose dive to hell if Young doesn't cover JE's backside.
I hope the ensuing crapstorm for Edwards humbles him enough to start thinking about others. Umbrellas out!
