$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('threadbear', '.')... the press went ape. They are the ones who humiliated her and her family, appealing to the ridiculous and destructive NorthAmerican preoccupation with sexual exclusivity.


And Sen. Edwards had nothing to do with it?

First you suggested that Elizabeth Edwards was too old and not sexy enough for Sen. Edwards

Now you blame the press for catching John Edwards in a lie.

Somehow I think Sen. Edwards is at the bottom of all this.... :roll:
why do you care about this, plantagenet? Give it up, it's yesterday's news, like Gary Hart. Alaska is a big beautiful state, bigger than Texas. Go hunting, go trout fishing. Forget about that no-count has-been.

Hunting season doesn't open for 10 more days. There aren't any trout in interior Alaska (except those stocked by the ADFG). and its too late in the season for the glorious native grayling to be taking flies now.

Meanwhile, the follies in DC and the lower 48 are really funny this year.[smilie=new_popcornsmiley.gif]

OK, but it's still yesterday's news. Makes you seem like a provincial hick to dwell on it. The big news now is that McCain is pulling ahead in the polls. Next week the big news will be the riots in Denver. Try to stay current, as hard as that may be in Alaska. Edwards is so, well, old news.

OK, but you must've missed the latest funny photos and the leaks--. Makes you seem like a provincial hick when you don't keep up with events and don't see the humor in a slick phony like Edwards being brought down by his own hubris. [smilie=new_popcornsmiley.gif]

Nine years before John Edwards found himself at the center of his own sex scandal with Rielle Hunter, he spoke out about Bill Clinton's infidelities at the impeachment trial of the then-president:

“I think this President has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen.”

Edwards, apparently, didn't learn much from the Clinton debacle. And he ignored one of the biggest lessons from that mess: If you're a politician who gets caught having an affair, don't lie about it.

Hmmm......the coverup goes international......

Sen. Edward's babe (and his baby) are no longer in the 5 million dollar mansion where they were staying in Santa Barbara. Some rich democrat paid for her to take a foreign trip!!!

Now she's turned up in St. Croix, staying in a home owned by an OBAMA supporter. Hmmm....

".....traced Hunter to a house in St. Croix owned by a lawyer named Lee Rohn, whom it calls a close friend of Edwards. But Rohn’s most recent political contribution went to Barack Obama. He gave the presumptive Democratic nominee $1,300 on Feb. 4, 2008, just four days after Edwards left the race and three weeks before Hunter had her baby. He also gave Obama $1,000 during the summer of ’07 for his primary campaign."

Why is an OBAMA backer paying for Edward's mistress to take a foreign trip and why is she staying in his house in St. Croix?

Hmmmm........ :roll:

Thats more or less what a morally outraged Sen. Edwards said about Clinton and Monica and their love affair.

I really don't get why people automatically assume Elizabeth Edwards isn't interested in sex and left John Edwards with no recourse but to seek his libidinal satisfaction elsewhere Elisabeth Edwards is a very nice, extremely supportive and quite attractive woman. She is a little zaftig and battling cancer, so she definitely needs John's support and may well want to be hugged and loved by her husband more then ever. :!:

Threadbear:

Get your mind out of the gutter (or out of the barn, as the case may be).

Sex is a wonderful wholesome healthy fun activity......at least for most people.

The problem with Sen. Edwards isn't that he had sex.....its his failure to take responsibility for his child, the financial scam, the serial lies, and the coverup.

Edwards also apparently used campaign donations to pay off his mistress....thats a big no no......and a possible violation of campaign finance laws.

And the latest twist in the coverup is quite curious......why did a rich Obama backer move John Edwards babe (and baby) to his mansion in St. Croix? :evil:

What are you saying, threadbear? do you think that plantegenet is screwing Alaskan migratory geese? I would take umbrage at that. Geese, no; Huskie bitches maybe. (just kidding p, it is an amusing topic, after all.)

Oh...and there is no such thing as "Alaskan Geese". The common wild goose in Alaska and throughout western North America is the Canadian Goose.

By coincidence I've just been cleaning my shotgun in preparation for duck and goose hunting season....I had it out with me for bear protection last month when I was fishing on the Alaska Peninsula. Never fired it*, but but it got sand and grit in from helicopter swash when we'd get dropped off.


*We landed at one spot, and I got out and started loading the shotgun while my friend walked towards the back of the copter....normally the helicopter scares away the bears....but my friend walked down the slope 50 m and she came tearing back burbling "bear...bear..." A young brownie was loping up the slope after her, but fortunately it veered off when I stood up with the shotgun. Of course, we all know not to run from bears, but its pretty hard when it stands up and then starts out of the bushes only 20 m from you.

note my later post. I'm interested in humor of course, and I don't count myself as an opponent to you. Consider this values clarification.
