The Edwards gave up their right to privacy the minute he ran for President. This was a time bomb waiting to explode. Excellent post!

I'm sure it isn't easy, particularly if you're catually present & providing care. John Edwards decided ignobly to make a presidential run, jetting around the country and banging his conveniently vacuous girlfriend. “The life of a spousal caregiver is not as easy as one might imagine as they try to help their ill spouse…”

We should all not be so quick to judge. The life of a spousal caregiver is not as easy as one might imagine as they try to help their ill spouse, and cope with the emotional, physical and financial changes brought on by the advent of illness in the family.

The depth of our language is sometimes described as a 'bottomless reservoir' of nuance. I agreed with that sentiment, but no longer, thanks to John Edwards. I've been struggling the last two weeks for words to describe exactly <em>how much</em> of a douchebag he really is. And sadly, for the first time I find my native tongue wanting. The adjectives simply aren't 'there' to accurately describe how much of a manipulative, calculating, reprehensible, scumbag, liar, phony, narcissistic, empty-suit, jackass he really is. See that? My best effort to 'capture' the fundamental essence of John Edwards rings completely hollow, like calling the Grand Canyon a 'really big ravine'. I would otherwise be embarrassed by my linguistic impotence, but I really don't think it's my fault. He has simply re-defined the boundaries of douche-baggery, shattering the power of words to define him. It is, in wierd sort of way, a mark of greatness. A legacy, if you will.

He posts this link all over. Yes, we now know Andrew Young has these issues. Robert, do you think Edwards USED these frailities to extort Young? Did he hold them over his head and therefore convince him to take the fall. Really, Robert, please participate fully. You post this all over the place without commentary. Everyone has their theories... go ahead and tell us yours... I wish Robert Lewis would provide some interpretation. He posts this link all over. Yes, we now know Andrew Young has these issues.
