    It is really funny to see all the fuss around the affair of a politician in a country that sature its people with violence, extramarital sex and affairs. The only thing that our children experience, in the news papers, and T.V, programs is an absolute disolution of all the the moral values. The Edwars case like that of Clinton are absolute private things, between them their families and their God. The rest is nothing, but and abuse of the privacy that we all deserve. The Enquirer is an absolute repulsive and irresponsable journalism, that have no regard for the children envolved in such terrible matters, making them inocent victims, just to make money at the expense of their shame.

      what's the "fuss" all about? Are you kidding? Someone who can't even be loyal to a cancer-stricken spouse and they want us to trust them? The Enquirer may be 'repulsive' to you, but you can't deny that they were right on target. Why didn't the 'regular' news media jump on this story?

        then what about McCain? He left his first wife after she was phsysically "damaged" after a car crash....only to go on and marry a rich bitch half his age.

    Another slut and another fallen man. Why can't you guys keep it in your pants? When a mechanic in a small midwest town has an affair , everyone in town knows it. How does a national figure think he can get away with it? We have no hero's. How sad...and even Perry Mason was gay.

    I truly wish American politicians and the Sputter Gutter News Media would get their brains out of other peoples panties and zippers and get it on them real issues facing this Country. I am fed up with all the bedroom crap being exploited in our faces and personal human destruction just for a piece in the nes. There are very few marriages where there aren't cheaters and religions hold the top space for most of this junk. It is time to drop the Edwards moment of weakness thikng and get on with letting his wife live out her final days in peace. So either put up or shut up and let moral values stay where they should and not on the front pages of any TV, Magazine or newpoaper.

      How can you say "let moral values stay where they should"? Politicians are supposed to represent the people's interest, it comes with the territory and the job. Supposedly a position of trust. If you can't keep your promises to your wife/family, what are the chances that they're keeping any promises to anyone or in regards to anything else. Duh!

    This takes on a whole new meaning with today's revelations about Edwards' affair with Hunter. Untucked. indeed.

    While I am not a Hillary fan by any means, she will be my first choice, second will be Edwards and third will be any Republican other than Huckabey. Period. Obama will turn us into a nation that is more worried about third world nations (Kenya) and figuring out a way to make illegals legal than taking care of the problems at hand. While serious change is needed, I am not willing to give up our nation to illegals and third world countries. To HELL with the rest of the world, learn to take care of home before you take care of elsewhere.
