The Gazette on Edwards

This Gazette editorial is also pretty scathing of pretty boy Edwards.


But last week Edwards admitted the affair, though denying that he was the father of his former lover's daughter. Appallingly, he specified that he was unfaithful at a time when his wife's cancer was in remission. "His infidelity," N.Y. Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote , "was oncologically correct".

L Ian Macdonald notes Edwards' lies are pretty lame.

Sex, lies, videotape
There was always something fishy about the champion of the poor who appeared on the cover of GQ

John Edwards had a new excuse for fooling around on his wife - the campaign made him do it. If only Bill Clinton had thought of that.
In his remarkable interview with ABC's Nightline, Edwards blamed the rarefied air of his presidential campaign, "which leads you to believe you can do whatever you want, you're invincible and there'll be no consequences."
As a result of this "self-focus" and "narcissism," he acknowledged an affair with a staffer named Rielle Hunter, who had been hired to shoot videos for his campaign website. His political action committee paid her $114,000 over several months, the first contract her newly incorporated company had ever received. This gives a whole new meaning to sex, lies and videotape.
