You gotta give Spitzer credit for one thing. He definitely had the hottest slut of the bunch.

I am not having gay man sex with BSAMS.

you spelled definitely wrong, mr. "lawyer."

We haven't seen Rice's piece of ass yet.

it's bad, but not quite newt gingrich handing his wife divorce papers while she was recovering from chemo bad.

Stupid, stupid Adler. Everyone knows that a good lawyer lets his secretary type everything at the office.

your secretary should sue you.

I don't like hating people but I hate John Edwards. he is a piece of shit scumbag good riddance.

He reminds me of Martin Sheen's character in Dead Zone.

He reminds me of Charlie Sheen's character in "Men at Work."

Or, better yet, "Two and a Half Men." That guy's always chasing some chick around and lying about it.

Edwards' Story: It Doesn't Add Up. Inconsistencies between senator's admission, timeline of events raise questions about attempt to come clean

if she's knocked up by him he must have cum clean!

The banner ads are informing me that Charlie Sheen "two and a half men" ringtones are now available.

Though appearently able to read, the banners still haven't mastered the fine art of subtle mockery.

Actually, thanks to you, I keep seeing a banner ad for a Princess Bride video game.

i see a mccain ad with paris and britney.

Edwards Affair: Wife in 'Anguish'. Friend of Elizabeth Edwards reportedly says she was 'furious' and in 'excruciating anguish' after former senator's affair

Well there is a chance that he used funds properly but given the circumstances I suspect this is going to not go well for him.

At least when he is raped in prison he technically isnt cheating on his wife.

Former Edwards Mistress Arrives at Courthouse Where Grand Jury Is Meeting: an appearance that comes as federal investigators examine former Sen. John Edwards' finances.

Edwards Admits Paternity: No surprise there.

Edwards in Haiti? look out for silky-haired Haitian children to be born in the fall.

Now I see why whomod liked him so much: Disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards reportedly beat his cancer-stricken wife during a horrific marriage-ending fight.

Andrew Young (the guy who was John Edwards' political aide, who initially took credit for being the father of Edwards' mistress' child) has a new book out, and has been talking in detail about Edwards' unethical behavior throughout the campaign. It's pretty amaazing that this guy could be so devoted and loyal to Edwards that he'd take the rap for Edwards.
Also amazing that Young's wife, knowing the truth, would go along with and be a part of the cover-up.
And Elizabeth Edwards, even knowing about the Edwards' infidelity to her, was a willing part of it as well.

I guess getting slapped around was the last straw.

Poltico: Does the press really vet presidential candidates?

• The revelations about Edwards, contained in two best-selling books, have undermined one of the favorite conceits of political journalism, that the intensive scrutiny given candidates by reporters during a presidential campaign is an excellent filter to determine who is fit for the White House.
  
  While the media “usually does well” in vetting candidates, said presidential historian Michael Beschloss, “Edwards is a good case” in which it didn’t.
  
  And that failure is worrisome in a changed political world where politicians - be they Barack Obama or Sarah Palin - can burst upon the national stage and seemingly overnight become candidates for higher office.
  
  The media, according to Beschloss, now has “a much bigger responsibility than it used to.” In the past, he said, the political establishment “would usually have known the candidate for a long time, and if there were big problems, they probably would have known about those, and tried to make sure those people wouldn’t be nominated.”
  
  That did not happen with Edwards, even though as a Senator he had run for president once before, in 2004, ended up on the Democratic ticket as John Kerry’s running mate, and was a known quantity to many top Democrats.
  
  The failure to follow up aggressively on the reporting by the National Enquirer, which has nominated itself for a Pulitzer Prize for its Edwards coverage, has served as fodder for conservatives and others convinced the media has a double standard when it comes to vetting Democrats and Republicans.
  
  "I feel sorry for the liberals who were duped by Edwards,” said Cliff Kincaid editor of the right-leaning watchdog organization Accuracy in Media. “They were the real victims of the failure to vet Edwards.”
  
  “Now we know that Edwards was a phony in more ways than one,” Kincaid added. “Our media, especially progressives in the media, were in love with Edwards because of his liberal views. But he wasn't in love with them. He was in love with someone else—and it turns out it wasn't his wife.”

New Subpoenas in Edwards Campaign Probe:

• Federal prosecutors have issued a fresh round of subpoenas for a probe into John Edwards' campaign finances, an attorney for the two-time presidential candidate said Wednesday.
  
  The subpoenas indicate signs of life for an investigation that hasn't publicly shown activity for a year. Edwards mistress Rielle Hunter and former aide Andrew Young made appearances at the federal courthouse in Raleigh a year ago to testify before a grand jury.
  
  Young says he testified about vast sums of money that changed hands to help keep Hunter in hiding.

Grand jury probes what Edwards knew about spending: A federal criminal investigation targeting John Edwards is examining how much the two-time presidential candidate knew about money used to cover up his extramarital affair and out-of-wedlock child and whether he had other practices that pushed the bounds of campaign finance laws

JOHN EDWARDS FOR PRISON BITCH, 2012 !

John Edwards faces indictment for campaign law violations: The investigation looked into money used to allegedly cover-up an affair.

John Edwards indicted:charged with conspiracy and illegal campaign contributions.

Typical, scumbag lawyer.

John Edwards is a scumbag, too.

I think it was pretty overt and obvious without even an investigation that Edwards was guilty of what he was accused of. And last I looked, was convicted of diverting campaign funds in a very linear way to cover up the affair with his mistress and the child he had with her, while married.
If you've forgotten, she was filming a documentary for the campaign, so clearly all their travel expenses doubled as both campaign expenses, as well as funding hotels and expenses for his personal liasons.

No one needed to trick Edwards into a perjury trap when he wasn't really guilty of anything. Edwards WAS guilty. Unquestionably.

Just as Bill Clinton boldly lied, and almost dared anyone to catch him in his lies. It wasn't a matter of trapping Bill Clinton, he was arrogant enough to think he could defiantly float any Clintonian deception and no one could ever catch him.
Bill Clinton WAS guilty of sexually harassing/assaulting/raping Cathleen Willie, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones and others. Bill Clinton boldly lied, evading whether or not he had sex with Monica Lewinsky.
He evaded and deceived, saying he didn't have intercourse, but in truth he did in fact have oral sex with her.
He evaded, saying that he didn't have oral sex with her, but in truth he did in fact receive oral sex from Lewinsky. And she had the semen-stained blue dress to prove it.
Clinton wasn't tricked into perjuring himself in a lawyer's trap. He boldly lied, and arrogantly thought he could get away with it.

And because he actually assaulted Paula Jones, he had to pay $850,000.

Because Clinton actually broke the law he was sworn to uphold as both a lawyer and a president, he was fined $90,000, and the American Bar Association took away his law license. (Temporarily, for 5 years as I recall. But I believe he never renewed it because he makes well over $100,000 per speaking event, so he never really needs to practice law again. )

Your point being... what, M E M?

There isn't any possible Trump parallels that cross your mind?

None that hold up to scrutiny.

Lol, 130,000 thousand dollars paid out by his lawyer says otherwise
