Media whores....
....it is like a shark feeding frenzy....on and on about John Edwards. OK, we get it ~~ he had an affair. Move on, OK? He is NOT running for POTUS and he is not the VP nominee.

Don't any of these assholes stop to think of the FACT that there are two young children, a daughter who is a young adult and a wife who has an incurable form of cancer involved???

All I want to do is yell, STFU at the TV screen!

:grr:

1. They just love when it's a Dem who's commited a 'transgression'
the Republicons do it so often that it's monotonous.

6. Now this POS reporter is going on about demanding a DNA test!?!?!?!
WFT???????? He is demanding that Edward take a DNA test, a lie detector test, etc.

What the hell business is it of ANYONE except those directly involved as to who fathered a particular child????

GMAFB......:grr:

2. I'm glad this came out on a Friday, so it won't get much TV coverage.

3. I hope by the time Rachel Madow comes up on MSNBC,
she'll have an opportunity to say, "Not unlike John McCain."

4. From the number of threads on this topic,
Edited on Fri Aug-08-08 03:25 PM by dflprincess
DU is just as bad and there are some here who think that Edwards' lie is just as bad as Chimp dragging us into a war.

7. Isn't it ridiculous? It's between John and Elizabeth.
We don't know what has gone on in their marriage, nor should anyone judge.

9. Totally agree....
...particularly under the circumstances of her health.

I wish to hell they would leave these people the hell alone!

14. I wish the media would STFU....
...and, yeah, this matter is between John and Elizabeth. The media does NOT belong in this picture at all.

8. IMO, it would be ABNORMAL for anyone to NOT lie about an affair.
So...what did all these assholes expect? When confronted, the person is gonna jump right up and admit the conduct?

:eyes:

10. Nominated.
Disgusting that the media is presenting it as America's business. Pathetic that people are viewing it as anything other than the media manipulating the public's perception.
