No, I'm not reaching. I'm not looking for ways to make this look any better and there is no reason for me to defend John Edwards. Peter's point is valid and saying he should have used better judgment knowing what happened to Clinton and Gary Hart is dead on. I can understand why a lot of people would feel that way.

You win this round, Pat, Edwards admitted he had an affair. He's likely off Obama's list and going forward any time his name comes up the loons on talk radio and tv will follow it by saying something like "the scumbag who cheated on his wife that had cancer."

Hurray for your team!

I'm glad you take the law so seriously when it comes to Clinton but I wish you would have taken it more seriously when Libby was lying in his testimony, and Bush, Cheney, Rove, and the rest of those criminals were refusing to testify about anything and claiming they were above the law. I say the Clinton thing was a joke because they cooked up an investigation on Clinton just to get him on the stand so they could ask him about his sex life. If you look at the facts that's what happened and you know me Pat, I'm no Bill or Hillary fan. When it comes to real crime though and crimes against the United States you seem to be looking the other way. I know you finally no longer like Bush and the chances are he'll never be prosecuted but come on, admit it, he and his administration are criminals.

I guess the thing is sex scandals are easy to understand but real crime involving many people and complex schemes to achieve political goals or funnel money or start wars just takes too many words and too much time to figure out. He stuck his dick in someone and lied about it is just so much easier.
