pilot - > A Pirate Aground In The City -> ABC Nightline Has Sunk To A New Low
ABC Nightline Has Sunk To A New Low
I abhor tabloid crap, be it here, in the newsrack at HEB, and in particular on TV. So here is the seedy truth of it all: former democratic candidate for president John Edwrards got caught with lipstick on his dipstick. However wrong that was, it should now be between him and his wife. The world and yes, even his constituents, have no concern with his misgivings. This plainly is trailer park  horseshit journalism, and if I see it reported in the Advocate, I will be very disappointed. That said, I am sure I am not the only blogger who will address this. I hope I am not the only one who feels as I do about it...........

Thomas Jefferson's wife was dead and he was single while he was diddling with Sally Hemmings. So that isn't an affair.

not too sure about THAT W, nor where you are coming from, but it is fairly well documented that Thomas Jefferson did have, and I mean HAVE Sally Henning.........Rock on T.J. certainly, something was missing in his life. Thank dog that there was no Peope, NBC Extra, or NIghtline in those days................I'd say, that we all might not be too quick to judge our elected officials' personal lives as reported in the tabloids. Some of them, though a bit overextended in the"winkie extracurricular activity" department, served our country quite well as leaders. What the hell is your problem people? Baptists and like thinking religious fanatic moralists, don't bother to reply. This is not a religious issue. It is a personal/effective government thing..............

Breeder, I suppose you have some evidence that George Washington had a mistress, or were you just blowing smoke?

It is in every Newspaper, tabloid and on every channel on Television.  I don't think anyone has missed the story. Maybe The Cuero Record didn't have a story, but I doubt it.

Roy Mark,

Also ask yourself how in 24 hours the family all of a sudden is not worried about the paternity. The sister was going to brain him and now they want nothing.  You won't find the money from the Edwards account.  And he made the comment that others may have paid her more already.  And he is saved God and his wife forgive him.  Sorry, I hold account to the iron skillet treatment also as correction therapy for either sex.  And no one cares.  Why isn't this a character flaw. To do this to your wife and she has cancer...what a heathen.

Due to the biased nature of reporting and what passes for journalism in our society. Only public pressure in the form of falling ad sales will bring about change.

Don't you love the posters who cite the Bias of Fox News, yet refuse to acknowledge the saem in their chosen media?

My point is that our leaderhip from ALL sides of the political world are unworthy of our support and deserve to be "tarred and feathered".

So you agree with me the story should have been covered. Why wasn’t it by NY Times etal?

How about his reputation for veracity?

Pilot seems to be particularly put off by the possible Edwards coverage. I point out to both of you that all of these sh-tbirds should be exposed.

My true fear is that America is getting the type of leadership that we deserve.

BH  No worse than the FINE behavior illustrated from Senator Craig to Sheriff Ratcliff.

At least Edwards has been fooling around with a woman.......

 

Agree. So what your point? The Craig affair was covered pretty well by the media. Of course the “Gay Rights” bunch would not agree with you

I so agree.. pirate.. Look back in history how many of our leaders couldnt keep their pants up ? JFK.. famously popular with the women..  Abraham Lincoln, George Washington.. all had mistresses..I think a lot of it has to do with " power" , I do NOT agree with the behavior and would cut his little winkie off if he was my husband..but it should remain PRIVATE between he and his wife.. I personally dont care who anyone sleeps with.. as long as it doesnt interfere with their leadership abilities !! I mean this is NOT the first man to cheat on his wife..and what about these women who thinks its okay to dally around with someone elses husband ? they are just as much to  blame as the man !!!

Roy: I find it just as appalling as a noted US Senator soliciting homosexual sex in an airport bathroom.

To attack one without the other is hypocritical. Politics is not in question. Leadership and the aborant behavior of all is in question.

Actually, I find less offensive given the reasons noted in my previous post.

We have gone to hell in a hand basket.

I suppose that it is of no interest to anyone that a former candidate for DEmocrat nomination as President is a flat out proven boldfaced no question about it liar.  What's the old saying? It is always the coverup.  There is also a hundreds of thousands of dollars contrail still to be followed of money paid for the ladies support  The most chicken excrement  statement was made by Edwards when he said for what ever reason" His wife's cancer was in remission while the the affair was going on."  Oh that it justifies the whole thing.

I just saw that the spurned concubine's familiy has called on Edwards to take a paternity test.
