Stones: For the holier than thou...

[RNdaSilva]

At least JFK had taste.



And then we had Monica.



MSM, if for no other reason than Elizabeth and children give Edwards a break. It's a family affair. He does not hold an office nor is he likely to any time soon. However, had he been the nominee this could have been disastrous. You have to wait until after you're elected. Reference above. No, not condoning, but things happen and the world keeps turning. Ergo, lighten up.

1. Sorry its not a family affair anymore

They were both aware of this in 2006. He should never have run for the presidency. Had he not done that it would have been a family affair.

2. The only one being holier than thou was John Edwards in his impeachment statement

“I think this President has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen."

It's not "holier than thou" to be disappointed. I'm disappointed. My disappointment is in the deception and the contradiction between Edward's professed public persona and reality. I'm not angry, I'm not trashing Edwards. But I've got every right to be disappointed.

4. So putting the chances of the Democratic Party winning the White House at risk

is a "family affair"?

:eyes:

How fucking naive do you take me for?

5. Plenty. Think McCain& Cindy.

Which is worse?

6. HAd Edwards waited until 2036 to run

there would have been no problem. He'd be in the same position as McCain.

7. I think Marylin was with Bobby

I think the JFK rumour isn't true. However JFK did have his affairs.

People are pissed at him because it has put in jeopardy the democratic party and it has ruined his chances of serving as Attorney General.

11. I think Bobby got seconds...

Not that it's really all that important.

It was also rumored that Marilyn was did in to protect the Kennedy name. Rumors.

13. And The Corporate Media say "Okay...Have Some Donuts"...

For those not familiar with this scandal...one that had far more ramifications than "shagging" a staffer...hell, that's Newt Gingrich crap. Gramps makes them look like pikers:

All the attention in the breaking story about John McCain's 2000 relationship with a blonde young telecom lobbyist has been focussed on the question of whether or not they were "doing it."

As George Stephanopoulos claimed on ABC, the importance of the story depends upon whether McCain is shown to have had a "relationship" with the lobbyist, Vicki Iseman.

But really, who cares whether they were shacking up on the campaign trail? McCain, after all, already double-timed his starter wife and dumped her for a trophy wife, the statuesque and wealthy beer industry heiress Cindy Hensley, so it's not as though he is campaigning on a strong pro-family platform.

No, the reason his aides, back in 1998-2000, started working behind the scenes to keep Iseman away from McCain, and confronted McCain over his dalliances was because McCain, who had a history of corruption, most notably his card-carrying membership in the Keating Five savings and loan scandal, couldn't afford to appear to be backsliding.

It isn't, that is to say, a matter of whether or not McCain was diddling Vicki. It's whether he was delivering for her and her clients, perhaps in return for her delivering for him.

So will the corporate media revisit one of their own? I've got a bright shiny dime that say they don't.
