I don't usually watch 20/20 but had to tivo it last night when they had Andrew Young and his wife on describing how Edwards had him claim paternity, mistress-sit etc. Spent over a million on the coverup. Amazing stuff.

But if somebody's BS detector didn't go off on Edwards as far back as 2004 they really ought to take it into the shop. Definitely means Kerry and his people were unfit to hold office. ( and yeah, McCain's folks' vetting of Palin kind of makes me think that could have been pretty ugly too )

As I said to Mike, I am reading "Clinton's Secret Wars" and getting warmer and fuzzier about Al Gore - at least in respect to national security issues.

>>As one who had his lying-weasel detector red-line the first time John Edwards came on the national radar, I have to say even I am surprised by the truly squalid nature of this guy's behavior.

>>Say what you like about the vetting process for Sarah Palin - John Kerry wanted this guy to be vice president and a whole lot of folks were taking him seriously for President in 2008.

>>It was indeed a year for form over substance, but I thank both President Obama and Secretary Clinton for preventing this weasel from getting further than he did. ( though it is pretty clear if he had somehow obtained the nomination he would have actually had to withdraw before the election )
