Shocking! John Edwards lied
By Brian Kirwin | Thursday, January 21st, 2010 | PoliticsDemocrat symbol of all that is right with the left, John Edwards, has finally admitted that the child of his affair is actually his.
Edwards’ attorney, Wade Smith, said in an interview that Edwards wrestled with the decision to come forward but took so long to do it because “he’s not the only person involved in this.”
“It’s a complex family situation, and he had to keep in mind that other people have concerns and worries about it,” Smith said. (story)
Isn’t that sweet of Johnny? He was lying all the time and it was other people’s fault.
Creep!

BK-”Democrat symbol of all that is right with the left, John Edwards, has finally admitted that the child of his affair is actually his.”
This is the difference between Dems and Repubs in shorthand right here. You have NOT heard any Democrats defend this guy since this story broke. Even people who favored him in the primary (full disclosure: I was one) have basically said “Wow, we dodged a bullet there.” The GOP however would continue to defend this guy, see Larry Craig, Sanford, Vitter, etc. It’s part of being in the “reality-based” community than we new facts come into evidence you take them into account.
Sorry if I’m particularly snippy today, it’s my first tobacco-free day in 40 years and I’m feelng a little grumpy.
Uhm….the Clinton experience disproves everything you just argued
Good luck, Steve.
BK-not so much. A lot of Dems dumped on Clinton and turned on him. Lieberman, for example, who rode his Clinton criticism into a spot on the 2000 ticket.
JR-Thanks. Even with the new anti-smoking drugs, it isn’t easy. Don’t know if I’d have even tried without them.
