Long time readers know that I have never been a fan of John Edwards. I could never pinpoint what it was but something just didn't sit right. I think I have it figured out now! Of course it's bad that he had the affair but it's much worse that he ran a campaign for President while lying bout it. Thank goodness he did not win the nomination. Furthermore, after watching the whole Nightline interview I am convinced that he is still lying and that the baby might indeed be his.
This affair does not rise to the level of hypocrisy that we see so frequently from those boasting of family values. It is the hypocrisy of the right wing that has always gotten my goat. They want to force so-called family values issues while living a secret life. But while Edwards has never tried to be the arbiter of morality, his decision to run for President with this secret (not to mention his wife having cancer) is very Gingrich-ian, sickening and I'm glad that it will effectively kill his future in politics.
