Rielle tied a flashing red emergency light to her head, had the word “Ambulance” tatooed on her lower back, and promised to wail like a siren!

I did not have sexual relations with that woman.

Pretty bold (and meaningless) statement Jason.

“If you’re a liberal and you support Obama, you’re no American.” – See, I can do it too! He lies, therefore, if you support him you’re not an American. Pretty ridiculous statement regardless of what name you plug in.

So it’s OK to be sexist against men, but not the other way around?

All it took was Monica Lewinsky flashing her thong to Bill Clinton, and his organ of thought, consideration and judgement fell about three feet. He didn’t know who this woman was; she could have been a plant by the Israelis or the Russians or the French, for all he knew. Even though Miss Lewinsky was apparently nobody’s agent, a few trysts between them, witnessed by no one, in situations where there couldn’t be reporters trailing them, and the secret still couldn’t be kept, because Miss Lewinsky couldn’t keep her big mouth shut — so to speak. At the very least, Mr Clinton lost a whole year of his presidency to garbage.

And now Mr Edwards has demonstrated that he, too, can let gravity seize his organ of judgement, and bring it closer to the floor. Why would anyone trust him as president, knowing that if some cute young thing flashes her thong at him, we could have the Lewinsky mess all over again.

John Edwards affair is different. In order to have it, he indisputably lied at least to his wife and quite possibly to a host of other people so he could have it both ways. On top of that, he has been considered a major player in Democrat politics for years, and used his wife’s illness to help prop up his campaign. And he never would have confessed that he was a cheat if it hadn’t been for the National Enquirer’s persistence in pursuing this story.

Now, we have Edwards possibly lying again about when the affair occurred. It just doesn’t pass the smell test that he had an affair in 2006 but visits the same woman at 2:30 a.m. in 2008 if there isn’t more to the story than he’s telling. The fact that he’s still not being honest drives this story.

Now, about John McCain’s affair(s). Unlike John Edwards, John McCain admitted to having at least one affair and possibly more during his first marriage which ended 30 years ago. He wrote in his own book that it was his fault and that he took full responsibility for it. And, btw, I’m sure dropping his first wife did, in fact, hurt his career, since, with his credentials, he should have been an easy choice for GOP VP or presidential material 20 years ago. But Ronald and Nancy Reagan shunned him after he left his wife. So, there was no “free pass” regarding his indiscretions.

Liberals make a big deal about the “it’s nobody’s business but him and his wife” argument, but they know inside that that isn’t true. It’s not merely the hypocrisy of someone preaching family values and getting caught with a prostitute. It’s not the legality of toe-tapping in an airport bathroom. It’s that infidelity and sex scandals coarsen discourse and affects the way all people end up looking at marriage and faithfulness as quaint institutions.

Yeah, I’m a bit amused that lying about sex is way worse than lying about weapons of mass destruction or forging documents to go to war, according to Republicans. Unless, of course, it’s David Vitter visiting prostitutes, then it’s ok. If cheating on one’s wife is so important to Republicans, why does McCain get a free pass on his admitted multiple affairs while married to his first wife?

Let me go on the record here – I don’t appreciate being lied to by any politician no matter what the subject or the party of the politician. I don’t think having an affair disqualifies someone from holding office, it really is a private matter between the husband and wife. The problem I have with Edwards is that he was carrying on this affair while he was running for president. That is really showing bad judgment and a lack of self control, IMO.

Your “men are men” attitude is amusing in this case. I wonder if you gave Gingrich the same pass.

“…which is why we need more women in positions of power.”

Amen, Liz. And they were all like you, nobody would be getting boned on the side.

Ewwwwwww!!!! Wash it off!! Wash it off!!!!

so you are implying that women don’t cheat?

Men are men and there is none among you men who would’nt have tried to cover up this mess!

Of course this ruins any chance of Edwards being in Obama’s cabinet, what a fool!

Goes to show the “little head overrules the big head”, which is why we need more women in positions of power.

Just look at McCain and his first marriage as a classic example.

Side note: speaking of liars, if you are a conservative and you support Dick Cheney, you are no American.
