Oh, how the mighty have fallen. John Edwards, former presidential candidate, former vice-presidential candidate, former senator, who currently holds no public office has tossed out his shiny good name to be dragged through the mud. Admitting to ABC's Bob Woodruff last week that allegations made in a series of Enquirer articles are, in fact, based on fact. One of the Democratic party's golden boys—with his toothy grin, dimpled children, and suffocating earnestness—is just like the rest; as his wife recovered from cancer in 2006, Edwards schtupped a member of his campaign staff, and with it our idealism—even if we didn’t know it yet.
And boy does he have that wounded puppy look down.
Doesn't it just make you want to go give him a big hug? No. NO. We're mad…betrayed…misled…crestfallen. Weeping at the corpse of our shattered dreams.
