In reply to the discussion: LOL. Okay Rachel, we love you. But John Edwards is completely a ZERO! [View all]customerserviceguy
(25,406 posts)But he also did a lot of other talking, and it was out of the other side of his mouth. It was the fact that he was willing to say such truly hopeful things to so many people who desperately needed a champion that made what he did even worse. I expect that sort of thing from a John Ensign or a Mark Sanford, they support that world of double standards from fifty years ago. I don't expect it from someone on our side, especially when it is absolutely obvious that the press is not going to "let it go".
It was John Edwards' facade of righteousness that kept everybody except the National Enquirer away from this story, and even though the cat was out of the bag, he continued to boldly lie his ass off about the allegations, even though he knew fully that they were 100% true. He denied the daughter who was of his own DNA, she's going to have to grow up and learn that truth some day, maybe it will be a bit easier for her if we as a society (through the justice system) said it was wrong.
