and, PS — what difference does it make if it’s his baby or not? He still had at least one extra-marital affair while his wife was fighting cancer!

Duchess? He?

A really good column in the Detroit News today about “affluenza”: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080811/OPINION03/808…

This is really a dumb question. What does one thing have to do with the other? What John Edwards did or didn’t do has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. There were scandals left and right. So he had an affair, it’s pretty common lately. Sad too! Personally, I wish she would have stayed until the bitter end. I wanted her in office to “clean house” so-to-speak. We need a woman in office. I was just hoping it would be her. Maybe the next election. I have high hopes.

If we want to go down the “what if” road, we could ask, “If Bill Clinton’s affair had forced him out of the race before he got the nomination before his first term, would Hillary have even been in a position to run in the 2008 campaign”?

“What if” Hillary leaked this to the press.

Hillary lost because she refused to acknowledge her mistake of voting for the Iraq war. End of story. That was the difference maker. It’s not like Obama won in a blow out. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that she lost the nomination because of anti-war sentiments. If she would only be brave enough to say I was warong and stop being ’ the man ’ we would be talking about presidential candidate Clinton. Such stubbornness that gave us the Iraqi War would not by any means seek to end it.

“If his wife can’t trust him, why should I?”

I am so disgusted with all the noise about Edwards cheating. Personally, I think he is a s- - t for cheating on a wife with a terminal disease. For God’s good sake, how low can a person be? I am nauseated by that facet of the story. However, if we’re going to be honest, it would be difficult to find one politician who does not cheat on his wife, those who have wives, that is. Those who do not do something else, no doubt, that someone would find sinful or distasteful or whatever. Roosevelt, Kennedy, Eisenhower, Johnson, all were ladies men. How many more? Too many, and not just presidents, either. When all the nonsense went down about Clinton, I felt that it was no one’s business but Hillary’s. I still feel the same way. These men will do as they please. They must feel that they can get away with it or they wouldn’t do it. Surely, Clinton didn’t want what grew out of his assignations with Monica Lewinsky any more than Edwards wants the publicity he’s getting now. They are fools. There is no privacy for someone in the public eye. If they refuse to recognize that there is nothing that can be done. I feel so sorry for Elizabeth Edwards, trying to stay alive and well enough to raise her children and now she has to deal with this creep on top of cancer. My mother told me early on that life was not fair, but she never said how unfair it could be. If I were Elizabeth Edwards I would have to kick the bum out. As for politics, well, thank God this shmuck never got enough votes to matter. I wanted Hillary but it was not to be so I will vote for Obama whom I consider a good man and one I believe will be good for this country. I do not expect perfection from him. I think he will make mistakes. After all, he is a human being. I also think he will learn from the mistakes and will become a fine president. I know that unless he transforms into a moron he cannot do worse than the present occupant of the white house who has shamed us in the world, destroyed our economy, presented himself as a complete fool (how could he not, that’s what he is), and cmmited more stupidities than I could list if I sat here all day and night. Let’s give Obama a chance.

Also, about Hillary, no I think she would have won. She refused to admit her vote on the war.
