RALEIGH, North Carolina – A federal grand jury indicted two-time presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday over $925,000 spent to keep his mistress and their baby in hiding during the peak of his 2008 campaign for the White House.
The case of USA v. Johnny Reid Edwards contains six counts, including conspiracy, four counts of illegal campaign contributions and one count of false statements. The indictment said the payments were a scheme to protect Edwards' White House ambitions. "A centerpiece of Edwards' candidacy was his public image as a devoted family man," the indictment said. "Edwards knew that public revelation of the affair and the pregnancy would destroy his candidacy by, among other things, undermining Edwards' presentation of himself as a family man and by forcing his campaign to divert personnel and resources away from other campaign activities to respond to criticism and media scrutiny regarding the affair and pregnancy," the indictment added. more liberal politics... |

I think it's just awful. Never mind that he was absolutely correct in his politics. He was a scumbag.
Rather reminds me of the story of Newt Gingrich's romantic life. (He wasn't so grotesque when he wore his hair longer). Mr. Pumpkinhead's treatment of his second wife was a particularly class act http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/11/newts-women-newt-gingrich_n_860341.html#s277211&title=19621980 Maybe, since this is the Huffington Post, this is all one big lie. |

I dont think she had six months to live AND he didn't knock up his mistress. |
