Yeah, the heart wants what it wants...but if you're (somehow) still on the short list for Vice President of the United States, you probably should arrange your tryst in a more discreet location than the freakin' Beverly Hills Hotel. Sheeesh!

[BSmack]

I'm hardly shocked that you read the Enquirer.

[Bobby42]

The flesh is weak.

[LTS TRN 2]

There well may be a blessing in disguise here. Edwards is a total fake--and would bring defeat to an Obama ticket. But perhaps this will cause Jim Webb to change his mind--and thus stave off a McCain nuclear Armegeddon, etc., for a few more years.

[Diego in Seattle]

if you're (somehow) still on the short list for Vice President of the United States,

Not likely. The Silky Pony is on an express train to the glue factory.

Guard Confirms Late-Night Hotel Encounter Between Ex-Sen. John Edwards, Tabloid Reporters

....The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men's room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

"What are they saying about me?" the guard said Edwards asked.

"His face just went totally white," the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child...

As if being an ambulance chasing scumbag wasn't low enough, he was banging this video skank while his cancer-stricken wife was out on the campaign running interference for him. Outstanding.

Roll credits...

Does this guy have no morals?

Sincerely,

[LTS TRN 2]

However....it could all be just some Rove smear bullshit....

Have you heard anything else about this?....

Ask...are there Rovian slimes out there crawling around desperate to undermine any Obama effort?

How many work for FOX?

Well, gee, the National Enquirer and Faux News have been cited in this thread so far as sources. Ya think?

[LTS TRN 2]

I really don't know...that is, can we assume such a total frame up? He wasn't at the hotel? Wasn't witnessed leaving at 2:40 AM? Wasn't ashen in the men's room? And where is the broodmare mistress?

Let's consider the possiblity that it is true basically as reported, but there are indeed powers that be which have for whatever reason decided to keep this out of the mainstream news. We know that can be done. I came across it on Drudge Report, and, well, is that not mainstream news nowadays? A collection of various sources, blogs, opinions, not subject to the whims and politics of editorial boards--to be believed and analysed as one will?

Ahhh yes, the newtcard. Why, newt's wife was sick. He left her. Therefore, newt=silky pony.

Or not.

I don't know the details of newt's personal life. I do know that he's been divorced a few times. But, last I checked, I don't recall his being bagged running around on a sick wife, while pretending that all was well at home. Also, don't know of any alledged newt bastards out there.

If newt did do such a thing, well, then he's a POS just like the bret girl.

Way to go, tard.

Sticking your tail between your legs and shutting up would have been wise... which you obviously aren't.

So you are now going all Karl Rove up in this bitch, trying to discredit sources, in an attempt to save face.


Fuck you, TiC. Do you really think anyone here has forgotten you screaming about how Edwards shared "your values"... over and over and over? You know, how you said what an upstanding person he was?


Way to go, tard. Fucking idiots like you fuck up this country for the rest of us...


"But Edwards told me he was a great guy, so I believed him."


You're too old to be this fucking naive and ignorant.


But DO tell us how that "values" thing works out for you, Edwards-apoligist.


He's a motherfucking ambulance-chaser. What the fuck did you expect, asshat?

Your right. It's just another rove smear job. Why, it's a perfectly normal response to barricade yourself in a hotel room shitter if someone tries to snap a pic of you.

Wonder how much carbon was released into the atmosphere as a result of johnboy running across town to bag his hoe?

Wait, sorry, I got my do gooder libs mixed up. Johnny's more about helping poor folks and keeping jobs in america. Well rack him for helping out a most likely poor chick and not banging any asian hookers

but dins, don't you see. he's chasing those ambulances ....... for the children. Well, that and a 20K square foot pad, no doubt built to strict code with union labor.

[Dinsdale]

But at least he's the politician who most closely shares Terry's values.


Or so Terry told us... over and over and over.


When you start aligning your "values" with a famous ambulance-chaser... you're a fucking tard.

If you believe everything the fucking National Enquirer prints, then by definition, you believe that Elvis is still alive and married to a space alien. And Faux News is little more than a propaganda arm of the Bush White House.

Neither of those is open for debate. Not among reasonable people, anyway.

You'll notice that none of this has yet appeared in the mainstream media. Maybe, just maybe, it's because the mainstream media has determined that the particular informant is somewhat less than credible (shocking concept, I know).

I don't know whether Edwards had an affair. And I really don't care. That's between him and his wife, and his God. I'd rather have someone as President (or Vice-President in this case, since Nicky seems to think that office is more important than the office of President) who can run the country but not his marriage than the reverse (sup, W).

But by all means, continue tilting at your windmills in support of Ron Paul. How's that working out for you?

[LTS TRN 2]

Well, it has crept out onto the mainpage on Google news. That's a start. One pundit has suggested the chances of Edwards being Obama's veep is approximately that of Mike Tyson directing an anger management seminar. The monumental stupidity of it is what's interesting. Surely some sort of self-destructive complex--which apparently had shown no other hint or manifestation until this. Dumber than Bubba? Definately.

Crapper, the office of vice-president is not the issue. It will resort to pretty much its former profile. What is crucial, however, to the choice this time is the electability of Obama Hussein etc. Of course Hillary is still marshalling all her forces, calling in all her chits, driving relentlessly for a spot on that ticket--which would of course guarantee a McCain/Casino Greeter victory.

[smackaholic]

Hillary has no intention of playing veep. Been there, done that.

Hillary wants to see onogga go down in flames. This will give her a shot in 4 years. She'll be too damn old in 8.

[LTS TRN 2]

But that was her game back in 2000. Yer wrong, this is it for her, and she knows it. (look out!) :doh:

[BSmack]

Hillary has no intention of playing veep. Been there, done that.

It would still make her younger than McCain is now.

[RadioFan]

You'll notice that none of this has yet appeared in the mainstream media.

For worse, Fox TV is the "mainstream media," Terry.

Maybe, just maybe, it's because the mainstream media is in the tank for liberal shitstains like Edwards (shocking concept I know).

Calling Dr. Detroit's white courtesy phone. It's on the invisible black helicopter, hovering over Nick's house 24/7.



Yesssss. Excellent. We'll cover up this little indescretion with Edwards and make him the vice president.

[PSUFAN]

So - did Edwards bang some other broad, or what? I have to say - seeing him in the last election cycle, I thought that was just a matter of time.

[Diogenes]

I guess it's relative. Have you seen the cow he's hitched to?

[Diogenes]

Beats me. I was just trying to be non-partisan and charitable.


Which in hindsight seems to be overrated.

[BSmack]

Or maybe, just maybe, you folks are overestimating the significance of anything John fucking Edwards does.

He is a former US Senator, was a Presidential candidate just a couple months ago and was a serious candidate for Vice President.

Who the fuck is Larry Craig?

FTFY

[Diogenes]

I'm pretty sure more people had heard of Edwards before than this story than had heard of Craig before his 'wide stance' troubles.

[LTS TRN 2]

Sure, but Senator Widestance had sure fucked over a LOT more good folks of this nation with his long steady run of rabid right republican asshole legislation. Edwards has done jack shit--but at least nothing particularly and generally demented.

[War Wagon]

"Sorry, little n...iggers. Remember when I said I was going to send you to college? Well, that was before my political career imploded. Good luck and godspeed. See you on the police blotter."

I caint hep it, that was fucking funny.

[Diogenes]

He's no Zell Miller.

Rack the Georgia state lottery.

Wow. Just wow.

Your lack of a life is staggering.

Sure, you bet! I typed all those out one by one--after verifying and analyzing the votes and their repercussions.

And the verdict is: Widestance was as perverted in his legislating as he was in his absurdly hypocritical private life. And it is proper that his long career of religio-corporate whoredom should conclude within a howling chorus of shame, ridicule, and disgrace. Unfortunately, most of the people who dismiss his memory as just a another closet GOP perv will not have studied his actual voting record, and thus not really understood his depravity at all.

I guess she's a step up from monica, sort of, but, fer chrissakes.

JFK must be rolling in his grave.

It's called getting strange.

No, it's called being a dumbfukk.

Even though Edwards did have the stones to actually call out rampant rabid corporatism as the primary assault upon American life, he has always struck me as somehow a shamelss smiler, a classic smoothie with neither genuine political convictions, nor that pretty thing called soul. He won't be missed--but HOLY FUCKING SHIT if he had gotten the veep nod before this blew up.
As for the hagged videographer--maybe she's the freak in the sack that he'd never known before. Greater men have fallen for less.
