JUST A BIT MORE ON THIS EDWARDS THING

Since my initial post on this I've listened to a statement by John and read a post at daily kos by Liz.It would appear that they had already dealt with this matter within the family (where it belongs),and had hoped it would never become a public issue.
Fair enough...except,they are public figures.He was running for president for cryin' out loud.The media lives for this kind of shit...how he thought it wouldn't come up is beyond me.
Had he won the nomination we would be fucked now-essentially handing the presidency to McCain (who is also a cheating horn dog bastard btw) and forcing the american citizens to suffer through another term of bush crimes.Even as I write this,conservative talking heads are falling all over themselves to somehow generalize his indiscretion to the dem party and Obama.It's pathetic on a number of levels.
But the question is really this-what does any of this have to do with the ability to govern?It certainly brings up questions about character,but he's not in the race,and when you consider that Vitter and Craig are still serving,the point is moot.
And there are so many other more important issues to focus on-the most recent being the war that appears to be growing between Georgia and Russia.
On a side note,the olympics had their first homicide...go China!
