    If I see one more thing about a politician's private life aired on public news I'm going to puke. Once aired that's all you here, you don't see anything about their job - that's sick. People are a certain way at work, and what they do when their NOT at work is NOT ANYONE'S BUSINESS EXEPT FOR HM AND HIS WIFE TO DEAL WITH. I have been cheated on and those involved were involved afterward and that was it - it wasn't aired around town. Same thing with Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski - who cares - let Bill and Hillary deal with it - and leave them be. Americans are sick in the head - they thrive off this stuff, that is crazy - get a life!

      Chances are pretty good you are not a public figure that was running for President of the United States..They are in the camera for everything else, so you bet their private lives affect their public lives also...He shouldnt have been so stupid. Anyone who wants to be famous and in the spotlight should expect EVERYTHING to be in the spotlight...You cant just shut it off when you want!

    Please note I AM NOT engaging in Male Bashing. From personal experience and the experiences of friends and loved ones this is just typical male behavior in the USA. Please don't take hold of the reins of your better judgement and common sense, especially when you are in the public eye and trying to make a great impression. Instead whip out your penis and use it in place of your brain. If he is the father of this women's child then let me also mention the following: In this day and age when we are trying so desperately to convince our young people of the many, many dangers of unprotected sex here comes John Edwards (a very public figure) having UNPROTECTED SEX. Way to go John! Do you think you could help us with any ot the other health issues we are trying to convey to our children? Too Bad you will never get to read this...it might have been educational for you. NEVER, EVER trust a politician!!

      Including Obama!!!!!

        Definately not Obama!

    stupid stupid stupid, . whatever happened to the separation of church and state, because that is what this boils down to and it is none of our business, i absolutely cannot stand the moral majority who sit in judgement of this, they are a disgrace to this country, not john edwards.

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 4:42:44 PM

      Please tell us how you feel about John McCain and his cheating on his ex wife again.... Please, do tell...........

      • Posted By: observer101 @ 08/15/2008 10:00:34 PM

        Ha ha ha...You ignorant boob...That ex wife of his deserves everything she got..SHE cheated on his ass while he was 'Living it up" in the Hanoi Hilton...Hell, didnt she become gimpy driving drunk from a party? Paybacks a b*tch...No sympathy for the ex Mrs. McCain here...

  • Posted By: eddieo @ 08/08/2008 9:54:54 PM

    Guess who is laughing in her sleeve at this one! Hillary? What better way to knock out a very possible running mate for Obama and position herself in the role.

    • Posted By: Donna1000 @ 08/08/2008 11:12:27 PM

      I just wonder when the MSM will break the story about Obama's extracurricular activiities -- before or after the first Tuesday in November?

      • Posted By: sjpersonal @ 08/14/2008 12:57:06 PM

        Exactly what extracurricular activiities would that be? Keep Hope Alive LOL!

    • Posted By: mbailiff @ 08/09/2008 12:54:48 AM

      I bet Hillary and Bill are livid and not laughing about this latest development. Hillary could possibly have been the nominee if Edwards had not been in the first race in Iowa. The primaries would have been very different if this story had leaked in October 2007. John Edwards has quite possibly screwed the entire democratic party and his decision to hide this affair has had far reaching consequences.

  • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 6:16:39 PM

    The story is out????
    Its been out LMAO The National Enquirer's been reporting it for 3 months LMAO
    Where you been Newsweek?

  • Posted By: observer101 @ 08/09/2008 12:27:55 PM

    Another Dem lies again...Say that to the song "another one bites the dust"...Has a nice ring to it..

    • Posted By: ekoorb @ 08/12/2008 10:20:30 PM

      Oh please...the most kinky, perverted men I have ever met have been ones who also claim to be very conservative republicans. I wonder why? could it be that conservatives think of themselves as being above being caught? above being judged? hmm...didn't W lie about he reasons for war? a huge ass lie that has caused the death of our servicemen and women. I think we need to start thinking about how many people get hurt by lies. I think W wins....by default 'cus wat more can you expect from someone with dui...once a liar always a liar!!

      • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 5:12:00 PM

        I was always brought up being told birds of a feather flock together.
        Kinky........You self admitted these are the types you associate with
        perverted........ Self admission

        Oh let me guess, your the democrat judge not the peer?

    John McCain is.... NEXT

    Lets hear Honest John Soundoff on this Indiscretion..The Hypocrite !!
    This may Truly be, The Year of the "2 Johns"

    1. John Edwards 2. John McCain & Vicki Iseman..Make it 2 for 2 John McCain...Please !!!

    A Song to Help Find (Vicki Iseman) Remember Her ?

    Get Ready for the (Vicki Iseman) Backlash, John McCain and I Hope its before the Election...

    I Know John McCain and Cindi McCain are hoping November gets here... SOON


    It has been exactly one month since the New York Times broke the John McCain/Vicki Iseman scandal, and since then the press has gone after Iseman with all the veracity and acumen of a dead hippo. What gives?

    Don't get me wrong -- I think that if John McCain had an inappropriate relationship with a lobbyist who looks like a Barbie doll that your sister gave a haircut to, it doesn't make him any less qualified to be president than I already think he is. That said, since any Democrat that is state assembly on up can't look at a woman other than his wife without the press going after her, I'd like to see the same crappy journalism help my team for once.

    Certainly isn't happening yet, and (Vicki Iseman) is probably sitting at home thanking Eliot Spitzer and Jeremiah Wright for making this news almost as old as John McCain, smugly patting herself on the back for being the only person in history to be a front page story in the Times with the self-control to not utter a peep. That, or some shadowy people have buried her in the desert.

    We wrote a song to help find out - enjoy!

    Shout-outs to Huffpost blogger Chris Kelly and 80's punk gods Husker Du for obvious inspiration.

    Vicki Where Are You?

    A month ago when I first read your name
    In a television storm of counterclaims
    Certain that you'd surface soon enough
    To deflect the accusations, cry out how you've been misjudged
    The rumors faded out and that was that
    And everyone stopped wondering just where you might be at
    Now it's likely that I'll see your face
    On a box of milk at breakfast or a ship to outer space

    Vicki where are you, did they send you far away
    I don't want to argue, I just want to know that you're okay
    Vicki where are you on a rocket to the moon
    Vicki where are you, I hope you come home soon

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 5:06:54 PM

      Rev Wright where are you, did Obama send you far away?
      A don't want a racist rant, just to know your still okay
      Rev Wright where are you, buried six feet deep?
      Please Rev let us know, before Obama chooses his veep!!!!!

  • Posted By: myvoice63 @ 08/11/2008 3:20:35 PM

    Geez, men...they are sooo dumb. Did he not learn anything from Bill Clinton's experience? If lying is his knee-jerk reaction to this issue, then I think we should thank our lucky stars he's not a presidential candidate.

    • Posted By: observer101 @ 08/11/2008 8:59:25 PM

      Its a Dem trait...Lie Lie Lie...If that doesnt work Lie about something that someone else lied about.

      • Posted By: mto55 @ 08/12/2008 1:03:17 AM

        And you tell all of us that you wouldn't be liying your false teeth out if you were in his place! But am sure your reply would be you wouldn't be in his place? Then who's lying??

        • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 5:01:31 PM

          So you do endorse people lying if it is for a good reason? Obama voter, correct?

        • Posted By: observer101 @ 08/12/2008 11:02:34 AM

          HaHa... Im not in his place, I have NEVER cheated and never will!...Seems some ppl just wished it happens to them huh?

  • Posted By: Diogenes 08 @ 08/11/2008 11:20:46 PM

    Go easy on Edwards, he didn't cause the death of his girlfriend like Ted Kennedy did in Massachusetts

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 4:58:53 PM

      Where were you when the Kennedy's endorsed Obama again? Sitting quietly until opening you mouth didn't hurt your favorite politician........Nuff said

  • Posted By: thmsmam @ 08/12/2008 6:00:50 PM

    JOHN EDWARDS I USE TO HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR YOU BUT YOU HAVE ONE HELL OF A NERVE TALKING ABOUT BILL CLINTON YOU ARE SUCH A DEMON AND ELIZABETH WHAT ARE YOU THINKING HE WILL NEVER BE TRUE TO YOU, HE'S LINING UP SOMEONE ELSE NOW --SHAME ON YOU JOHN EDWARDS YOU DON'T EVEN RESPECT YOURSELF.

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 4:50:44 PM

      Wouldn't you agree since his wife is still with him after this affair she has very low self esteem? Seems to me the lack of respect for herself all lies on Edwards wifes lap. Why is she still with him? I'm sure the lure of living the good life and having everyone kiss you azz has something to do with it.
      BTW...you don't really believe the only time he got caught is the only time do you?

  • Posted By: ekoorb @ 08/12/2008 10:14:25 PM

    Why do soo many people care? Its none of our business folks, what 2 consenting adults do behind closed doors - is their business alone!! The only person who should care is his wife! Apparently they have moved past this, so please move on too.

    So many people in this country cheat on their wives, yet get upset when politicians get caught. I say let only the politician who haven't cheated show up for work! DC will be completely empty!!!

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 4:45:35 PM

      DC? You mean't DNC right? Check out all the cheating going on in the Democrat side of politics here lately. And these people pride themselves in telling us what is good for us instead of letting us make our own decisions. What a riot!!!!!

  • Posted By: Average Jane @ 08/13/2008 8:22:34 AM

    It's a shame that Senator Edwards' sexual affair will obliterate all the good he's done as a politician, husband, and father. This affair should be strictly between Senator Edwards' and his wife. Let you who has not sinned cast the first stone.

    • Posted By: SPORTLOCK09 @ 08/13/2008 4:40:21 PM

      Miss Jane,
      Do you feel any ill feelings towards Edwards being that he has DENIED all accusations of this affiar for the last 3 months? Sad days in America when the National Enquirer is considered the standard for reporting these days. Even worse when the reporters we are supposed to trust in getting us the information cannot leave their own biasedness at home and refuse to break a story if it hurts their own agenda's. Atleast replace the headline of NEWS with "this reporters OPINION"

  • Posted By: okiedodd @ 08/12/2008 11:16:31 PM

    Hey ekoorb........unfaithfulness is dishonesty. Whether in ones private or public life.......dishonesty is not a positive attribute for the leader of the free world. You must be male.......LOL

  • Posted By: Laura M. @ 08/12/2008 11:05:40 PM

    Mr. Edwards you are a phony. I had wanted to believe in you as being a man who put his family and country before all others, but you disappoint on a very grand scale. Your pompousness and prideful nature have become a sad and distasteful tale of who is the real John Edwards. My heart goes out to your wife and family. You are a disgrace to them and to all who believed in you. Please go away.

  • Posted By: Omaar @ 08/09/2008 3:10:26 PM
