Turd

Apparently the National Enquirer had something that the rest of the media totally ignored (as they do): John Edwards today admitted to an affair with Rielle Hunter, admitted that he lied about it during his tenure as a Presidential Candidate, but denied being the father of her child- although he hasn't taken a paternity test. Plus, he said 'he didn't love her.'

Hmmm... your wife has cancer and you went off and had an affair with a woman you 'didn't love.' Basically, you didn't want to have sex with your cancer-stricken wife and just went off to chase some poon. What a turd.

Some fairly scathing reaction here (though there's pretty scathing reaction everywhere if you want to find some more.) Althouse, as usual though, raises a good point. What if he had got the nomination? Jeez, talk about killing Democratic chances in the fall- as if the Democratic Party doesn't cause itself enough problems on it's best year. Turd! Douche! Go, slip into irrelevancy. Quickly.

**Daily Kos is falling into collective apoplexy over this. Some people are foaming at the mouth, some people are decrying purient Republican overmoralizing. Go check it out, here.
