Goodbye and Good Riddance To John Edwards

John Edwards invited critics to beat him up over his extramarital affair and lies about it. The invitation is hereby accepted. The former presidential candidate and vice presidential nominee of the Democratic Party has betrayed his supporters, his fundraisers, and, most of all, his wife and family. He deserves scorn. Edwards had portrayed himself as a loving family man who was fighting through his wife's battle with breast cancer. So much for that picture.
He's not telling the truth about how it began? That's not at all surprising, because he certainly isn't telling the truth about how it ended. In his fall upon the dagger he said he "had" an affair (opertive word is had, past tense). Then pray tell why he went to a hotel (like a long lost love-sick teenager) to see "had" again. Mr. Edwards just needs to keep his mouth shut and his pants zipped - the more both open up the more trouble he gets himself into.
I don't think it matters if his wife was technically ill at the time. Even if a person is in remission obviously they are still vulnerable. Besides, he should be rejoicing that his wife had gone into remission. Why did she fight so hard to battle the cancer if not because she loved her husband and family? Lots of people lose their spouse to cancer. He got lucky and had a second chance. And he throws it away?
And let's not forget, Hillary! She has ties to the National Enquirer and certainly has much to gain from Edwards' 'problem'. Think hard about that and how the National Enquirer got this story!
