Political Punch

So Edwards tried to tell the rest of us how to live all the while he was keeping a mistress and supporting another kid.

I wonder what the IRS will say about those payments to her. Unless they were court ordered payments, someone is going to owe a lot of back taxes.

So this is what Edwards meant by the "Two America's" all along -- those who could afford to have a mistress and separate family and those who couldn't. Got it.

Men always choose mistresses for their brains, right?

Rielle Hunter has reached her pinnacle of fame and fortune. Given her present level of comfort, it's highly unlikely any memoirs are forthcoming.

Well it seems that Edwards was not taken in by her intellect... so what. This is far less about her than it is about his judgement and willpower. My boss (a woman) keeps telling me that all powerful men have these urges... sure. It still does not make it right.

I still think Edwards is an egotisical dandy who never did have come off as authentic. Time for Edwards, Bill and Spitzer to go fade away to some sort of lecture circuit where they decry the sin of adultery... boobs all of them!

I participated in Lingo once... we practised and practised and soon decided I was the weak link. I was usually happy to find a word, while my Lingo-partner solved it. We were good.

In the warm-up we beat all of the other teams, then they turned on the cameras. My "I'm the dumb"-strategy went well, I found a word quick as I could, while my partner tried to solve it. Twice she took too long, we lost on time and went home embarrased.

Both swore never to tell our family when it would air, my partners sister sat and saw 6 months of Lingo and on the very night she made a date to go to the movies with sister. Her plan worked as charmed, my partners sister never saw our embarrassing Lingo-moment.
