Elizabeth Edwards is a better woman than I am

Oh, this is definitely a "both sides of the aisle are guilty" situation. This, to me, is not about politics whatsoever it's about MEN and making the right decisions in your life.

I firmly believe that men CAN keep it in their pants and stay faithful regardless of temptation WHEN THEY WANT TO. I had the impression John Edwards was that kind of guy. The way he always spoke about and doted on Elizabeth and seemed so geared toward his family, he just didn't seem like the type to "stray". And especially with what they've been through in losing their oldest son, her ongoing battles with cancer (oh, and his running for the nation's highest office - duh, idiot!) I just wouldn't have guessed he'd break that trust and commitment.

I guess it just goes to show that you just never know.... (*eyes husband suspiciously over the top of her laptop* )

I was surprised at Edwards, too. I usually think he's a cutie but he's been looking ROUGH since this story broke.

I agree with everything you said 100%. It bothers me that people pretend that men can't help themselves, regardless of who they are. Men CAN and some DO control themselves. I think that PEOPLE should be able to control themselves.
