high hopes, if Hunter is a trophy wife, then I have lost all hope for humanity.

Agreed. That skank looks more like a booby prize than a trophy.

Quit wasting your time on Edwards tryst.

None other than the renowned political savant K.P. stated that this was simply a two day story.

Oh, come on. All babies under 6 months old look like Winston Churchill.

They smoke cigars?!?

And when a politician with a secret is no longer useful, he is easily eliminated with his own secret

The process of elimination is itself useful

Remember the ancient asian proverb:

To scare the monkey, kill the chicken

You’re a great one Alden Pyle. Thanks for the laugh.

..just another brick in the Hot Air foundation. :-)

First, the age differential. Despite Monica’s beliefs, there was no way that Bill would leave Clinton for a fat stupid twenty-something groupie. Hunter is closer in age to Edwards and could conceivably be the trophy wife.

There is the age difference. However, there is no way Edwards would ever marry Hunter. She is not a trophy wife. She is not accomplished, not beautiful, and not smart. She is heavily into this new age nonsense and she would be an embarrassment every time she opens her mouth. More than a few people have documented the crazy things that come out of her mouth.

Secondly, what does college or an interest in politics have to do with this? I could as easily paint Hunter as an “unconventional artist” as your description of her as a college drop out trolling for a sugar daddy.

You are the one who brought up intellectual equals. Edwards would have a greater interest in politics than cleansing diets, high colonics, and ashrams. She has produced no art, unconventional or otherwise. Her one artistic venture – “webisodes” are terrible. It is she, not me, who said she knew said she wanted to meet rich and powerful men. And she is a college drop out – that is a fact.

As you say, they both come from similar backgrounds so it all comes down to what is less sleazy. Hiring your mistress to you campaign staff seems less dirty to me than screwing an intern in the oval office.

You can’t get dirtier than screwing a married man with small children and a dying wife and hoping to break up the marriage. And getting knocked up, too boot.

Finally, I can’t believe I even got sucked into this discussion!

Too late, now. It’s the battle of the bimbos!

The only difference is that Edwards has none of BJ’s formidable political talent or smarmy charm.

If this chick was green she’d look like Shrek’s wife. Pile on the 2 pack a day voice and she is pas une jolie fille.

Well, none of us know what is “hot” in that other America Edwards keeps talking about! ;-)

Seriously, I’ve never ever understood this kind of behavior. You’ve got a loving wife and adorable children; yet you feel the need to have sex with employees????

Silky Foal.

If you were sisters, wouldn’t you have seen it in-person by now?

Minor point here, you are right but let’s not make the child an “it” whoever is the father. She doesn’t deserve that kind of description.

You know way to much about this for it to be be normal! ;-0

Despite your encylepedic knowledge of political “mistresses” I’d still disagree for two reasons.

First, the age differential. Despite Monica’s beliefs, there was no way that Bill would leave Clinton for a fat stupid twenty-something groupie. Hunter is closer in age to Edwards and could conceivably be the trophy wife.

Secondly, what does college or an interest in politics have to do with this?

That being said, Rielle must not be very close to her sister. In the interview, she says she saw pictures of the baby. If you were sisters, wouldn’t you have seen it in-person by now?

It’s interesting, the circumstances surrounding clinton. And while he is held in high esteem with his fans, And he is not actually a serial rapist, you are correct in your opinion as presented. I think that there are similar though patters between clinton and a serial rapist. Under different circumstances, he could very well be incarcerated.

Notice that Ronald Reagan has the prestige of being an actor, and then later president. With Power. Same with George W Bush. And while it may be the fantasy of the left who would like to think so, they were/are faithful with their wifes. They were and are faithful to their duties and responsibilities. Their thought patterns, and the reason that they do and said the things they did was not “because they could” or because “they believed they could do whatever they wanted” … These two example are of people with a stronger character than clinton and edwards.

In my opinion, this goes hand in hand with leadership. The people who use power and don’t abuse it in their personal life will seldom do it on an official level. Those who do in their personal life, and betray their sworn vows to their wives when they were married, won’t think twice about doing so while in public office. My opinion. Of course this does not hold absolutely true 100% of the time, and not every republican is good, not all democrats are bad. That being said, Reagan and Bush are in my opinion, good. And clinton and edwards are pond scum, poor excuses for human beings.
