Fool me once...

Edwards takes his wife to Wendy's, but his lady on the side prefers Arby's

I try not to blog about politics, I have my views and I enjoy discussing them with family and select friends. I do not attempt to bring them to a larger audience simply because of my lack of knowledge/information/bias. I don't know all the facts, if I did, I would be much more outspoken.

But, this story is just another reason I get so pissed off with politicians.

In late summer of 2007, I picked up a copy of Esquire, very metro, to read while I languished in my little hell of airports. The cover story featured John Edwards, who at that point, was in the running for the Democratic nomination.

While I know for a fact that I would not vote for Edwards, the article definitely helped his cause. I came out of the article with an appreciation for the man that has since waned.

What really bothers me is the lying, not the cheating. Even though Clinton was a "mimbo," he was still a decent President, in my opinion. I am just tired of candidates taking a "holier than thou" stance, attempting to make us believe that they are pious and worthy.

Edwards blocked the release of this story for some time. In the public, he denied the claims to save face. How inflated are the egos of some politicians? Not only did this idiot have to worry about his wife finding out about this affair, but the entire nation as well.

I am just praying for some truth between Obama and McCain.
