Well, Johns Edwards joins the ranks of powerful men, who've fallen prey to the feminine wiles of a beautiful woman. Edwards' fall is going to be precipitous, and alarming.
This is a man who criticized Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky affair, stating: "I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter." The National Enquirer had information on Edwards' alleged "baby mama", Rielle Hunter as far back as a year ago, but couldn't confirm it until the hotel incident a few weeks ago. At the time, a National Enquirer reporter confronted Edwards, as he was leaving Hunter's hotel room, and Edwards proceeded to run into a nearby restroom to avoid the reporter.
Edwards' decision to "come clean" on a Friday, when the Olympics are beginning is interesting, but he won't be able to outrun this story. He has denied being the baby's father, but is willing take a DNA test. It would be better if he would limit the pain that his family will have to endure and just own up to everything, including the fact that he's been paying housing and living expenses for Hunter.
Edwards' wife is battling inoperable cancer, and he still can' be honest. To think that he was once a candidate for Vice President of the United States.
