Putting the Oral Back in Moral
“I want to see our party lead on the great moral issues — yes, me a Democrat using that word — the great moral issues that face our country. If we want to live in a moral, honest just America and if we want to live in a moral and just world, we can’t wait for somebody else to do it. We have to do it.” - Former democrat Senator John Edwards
And with that said, lets all go cheat on our cancer stricken wives and then pay off our mistresses through our campaign accounts. What? Don’t look at me like that. It’s what John Edwards did, and he’s the new moral compass.
Alright, admittedly, I am having way too much fun with this. But seriously, wouldn’t you?
The Associated Press brings us this story, in which the former Senator, former VP candidate and would be role model for moral issues came clean and confirmed that he did have an affair with another woman while his wife was battling cancer. But don’t worry, he didn’t father his mistress’s child. Edwards is certain of that because of the timing of the child’s birth and when the affair ended.
Watching that calendar pretty closely, weren’t you, Senator?
But wait…because it gets better. According to the AP story, the father of the child is a former Edwards’ campaign staffer. Is the movie, Primary Colors, coming to anyone else’s mind? If it is true then I guess we have to credit the Edwards’ campaign for giving new meaning to the term, work hard and play hard.
But wait…because it still gets better. The report goes on to outline how Edwards’ campaign paid the former mistress 100K over a four month period, or I should say, didn’t pay her but paid her newly created media firm. And whether it is a coiencedence or not, the payments started five days after the child was born.
But not all was lost for the Senator, he did get a few YouTube videos produced for that 100K. But still, that seems a little high, wouldn’t you say? And anyone who knows me knows that I am all about saving democrats money whenever they spend questionable amounts from political accounts on either themselves or those around them. So Mr. Edwards, give me a call and I’ll hook you up with my guy that does video production for much…much cheaper.
But he’s probably not going to put on high heels and strut around the office for you, just so you know. In case that kind of thing is important to you, John.
