i think the next door neighbour is a scumbag for cheating on his wife. i think my ex work colleague is a ho for cheating on her husband MULTIPLE times. if this thread were about them, i'd be saying the same thing.
his spouse was ailing, he pretended to have these wonderful Wendy's anniversaries and paraded all over the media as a strong/united couple, all while he was nailing that woman. he really used his strong marriage and "stand by your woman while she's sick" schtick during his campaign. to me, that aggravates his actions and makes him ever more pathetic.

I can't believe that the son of a mill worker would do such a thing.

Ridiculous. Plain and simple. Did he ever think he would get away with it?! The fact that he is in the spotlight about it really says something about the "news" we all watch. Worthless.

Anyone who cheats on a terminally ill woman is a scumbag IMHO...oh, and also the fact that he is a vain tool...

Crazy how during a campaign he was cheating... he was working alot and boom...it happpens. At least he takes responsibility and admits he fucked up. Thats all he can do but hes probably screwed for VP unless some extreme sympathy thing goes on.

Think about it - if you were screwing around on the side, and someone asked you in front of your family in a public forum if you were cheating on your spouse, would you own up? I don't think that has any relevance, and don't think people should be required to answer questions like that for the public - that's personal. Now, his wife has the right to ask and beat the shit out of him, but that's on a personal level. I sure as hell wouldn't own up to being a cheater.

Zero respect from me. Imagine if he did get the nomination and then this bomb dropped? Not only his but his entire party's chances would be gone. Yet he tried to get the nom anyway knowing this? Epic personal and professional fail.
Besides that public side of it, the rest is between him and his wife, which they apparently already addressed before, so there you go.

wow. I don't know why this surprises me but it did. I was an early Edwards supporter and the idea that he might have won the nomination knowing this could come out just confounds me. What a selfish f*ck. And to trounce your sick wife around the country all the while?! It's pretty f*cking unbelievable. :(

"Our family has been through a lot. Some caused by nature, some caused by human weakness, and some – most recently – caused by the desire for sensationalism and profit without any regard for the human consequences. None of these has been easy. But we have stood with one another through them all. Although John believes he should stand alone and take the consequences of his action now, when the door closes behind him, he has his family waiting for him.
John made a terrible mistake in 2006. The fact that it is a mistake that many others have made before him did not make it any easier for me to hear when he told me what he had done. But he did tell me. And we began a long and painful process in 2006, a process oddly made somewhat easier with my diagnosis in March of 2007. This was our private matter, and I frankly wanted it to be private because as painful as it was I did not want to have to play it out on a public stage as well. Because of a recent string of hurtful and absurd lies in a tabloid publication, because of a picture falsely suggesting that John was spending time with a child it wrongly alleged he had fathered outside our marriage, our private matter could no longer be wholly private.
The pain of the long journey since 2006 was about to be renewed.
John has spoken in a long on-camera interview I hope you watch. Admitting one’s mistakes is a hard thing for anyone to do, and I am proud of the courage John showed by his honesty in the face of shame. The toll on our family of news helicopters over our house and reporters in our driveway is yet unknown. But now the truth is out, and the repair work that began in 2006 will continue. I ask that the public, who expressed concern about the harm John’s conduct has done to us, think also about the real harm that the present voyeurism does and give me and my family the privacy we need at this time."

i donnnnnnnnn't careeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... he's not going to be president. instead, we'll have some other lesser of 2 evils - hopefully. but then again apparently the majority thought it would be a good idea to vote in bush again, so who knows - i've just become jaded and believe that the general public is mentally retarded.
