http://www.smilieshq.com/smilies/sick0009.gif Oops. That trip out of reality made me a little woozy. Thanks for pulling me back down to earth.

And I agree with the rest of what you said.

Actually, I have been trying to police this in the entertainment forum. Please report any posts you see like that and I will edit them. I actually edited and warned DS for just this earlier this week...

My cousins have been living in the embassies in both Bosnia and Macedonia. They say that full frontal nudity on billboards is the norm.

But most of Europe also has nude beaches or swimming pools.

Also, McCain wasn't in a public office, nor was he actively campaigning for one, during his affairs. To be sure, what he did smacks of jackassery. But, he was a private citizen at the time.

Hell, I'd settle for a moratorium on posting any articles from sources like the Huffington Post, regardless of affiliation. Even if labeled "Opinion" clearly.

Well nude photos of public figures is a big deal in France because their privacy laws for politicians and celebrities are much more stringent than ours or in the UK - more with politicians than celebrities though, however people there don't really get why Americans in general make such a big deal out of infidelity. They figure it's their private life, so really what's the big deal. Not that it's common, but they're not as entrenched in living a "christian" lifestyle as people claim they are here.

Do I care that all of these self righteous politicians are philandering? No, they're untrustworthy to begin with anyhow, just don't do it in the White House...that is tacky.:)

His infidelity isn't the big problem here. What bothers me is that he was doing this while his wife was undergoing treatment for cancer. Instead of being by her side this douchebag was off banging some skank and paying her millions to keep quiet about it. I hope he goes to jail for breaking campaign finance laws.

I wouldn't say she's a gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke...

If they have the rules in NC, I'd sue the heifer for abandonment of affection while being afflicted.

And if the child winds up as his, when there are some questions because she was getting busy with the whole crew, then I'd make her lose her parental rights some kind of way.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that, but can she still sue him for that if they do not get a divorce? I am definitely not an expert, but would this fall under alienation of affection.

Ole girl was just a regular Ho for spreadin' her legs like cheese with his staff. I'm banking on some more from his camp coming forward stating they hit that too!!!:D

Yeah, what kind of situation is it when, "yeah, we had an affair, but the kid isn't his; it's someone else on his staff's that I also worked with" seems like a good answer? Sure, two affairs at work within two years, which I think is the given time line isn't Heidi Fleiss territory, but coupled with the rest of her bio. . .

The same way Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman Ms. Lewinski. He is lying.

Or she is. I don't trust either one, so bring on the DNA test!

The mutual reluctance to have a DNA test speaks volumes, IMHO.

Either way, that poor child . . .

Edwards has volunteered to have one. It's Hunter who has said "no."

He's not a candidate anymore, or even a factor in the election. Why should it matter to anyone but the Edwards, the mom or (especially) the child? (Okay, or the other possible dads and their families, too.)

Meanwhile, Jay McInerny's book is selling quite well.

he didn't he got a hummer.....heh

She wasn't undergoing cancer treatments during the affair. The affair reportedly ended in 2006 and her latest cancer was diagnosed in March, 2007.

I don't see what difference it makes, personally. I'm with Benzgirl... I'm jaded and think this is more the norm than the exception, especially with men who are in powerful positions. It doesn't shock me with politicians, actors, televangelists, or professional athletes. I think I'd be more surprised to find out one of them did NOT cheat on his wife ever.

Well, Jimmy Carter lusted in his heart.

And is constantly slammed for being an awful president!

Aaah. So affairs really make for better presidents. :D

in dont know if shes better but she definitely has much more patience than i do

Maybe there's some truth to that... Reagan, Kennedy, Clinton.

Reagan? Why are you lumping him in the infidelity club?

Reagan was divorced in 1948, when it was pretty scandalous to get divorced. In some churches, being divorced and remarrying is adultery to the first wife if she is not dead. I don't put him in with the infidelity club, but then, I don't put him in the group of good presidents either (and I actually voted for him once).

Back to the original topic though... sounds now like Elizabeth Edwards found out about the affair just before she found out about her cancer recurrence and chose to stay with him because of the cancer. It's not the decision I would have made, personally, but <shrug> it's her life to live how she chooses.

It would be tough to handle two such stressful things at once. That said, it would be perfectly understandable if she now kicked his happy butt to the curb now. How is her health?
