5. Thank you Mr Scorpio
I am so sad about this . He is just like the rest of us, a flawed human being. I just hope he can overcome all of this and move on.

7. He Who Is WITHOUT Sin Can Cast The First Stone!!! How MANY, MANY
MANY others have "been there & done that!" Ted Kennedy & Gary Hart comes to mind! Or perhaps we could go further back with John & Robert Kennedy!

And too too many Repukes also! Seems everyone "got over it" quickly enough!

11. I don't expect my pols to be perfect
And frankly, what we're about to witness is where this country's penchant for Puritanism is taking us.

All this is is another reason for the rest of the civilized world to laugh at us.

8. As human as Craig, Vitter, Gingrich, etc.
And not above making a shallow decision when his family needs him the most.

I'm sick of the whitewashing that's already happening here.

12. It's a two way sword, I agree
But you can't disagree that it's the "Family Values" crowd that has created this monster

13. And what do you know of it?
The guy is under considerable stress from the campaigns, his wife being seriously ill - he certainly would not be the first man to look for some temporary respite.

Why be judgmental?

15. Cheating on a spouse is a shallow decision. It's not a tough judgement call.
I'm sure he regrets it, I know I would. To deny that it was a stupid thing to do, though, is ridiculous.

16. Most stupid things people do are not the result of decisions, but of
transitory impulses and situations. You talk as if you've never made a mistake in your life - which makes you either very young or a liar.

Grownups know that people are complicated, and there are no simple answers.

That's why forgiveness is more important than justice.

20. I really really really like John Edwards... I'd vote for John Edwards in a heartbeat.
He was THE politician who really helped us in New Orleans. He came here a dozen times and WORKED HIS ASS OFF in the heat, just like everyone else.



Btw, note who are in the 'sour grapes' crowd. ;)
