What is it about powerful men who betray their ill wives? Edwards goes so far as to point out that Elizabeth's cancer was in remission at the time the affair began. What a big, fat, steaming pile of self-important rationalization he's dishing out there.
I'm sure we'll hear much ruckus from all sides on this. Let me guess....
1. Democrats are heretics who say one thing on the election trail but do another in their personal lives.
2. Edwards is only human, and people make mistakes. It's important to forgive him.
3. Republicans will conveniently forget that there's a trail of their own spousal bodies being trampled as they stampede to heap their outrage at Edwards.
I'll bet no one will write this: The only Edwards worthy of our time and compassion from this point forward is Elizabeth. She's shown more poise, courage, and leadership than her philandering husband. John stopped being worthy of our attention in 2006. We just didn't realize it until today.
