News that John Edwards admitted having an affair has been a huge story the past couple of days.
One woman I know asked, "What kind of idiot would do something like that?"
And by "something like that," I think she meant cheat on a spouse who was battling a life-threatening disease.
Well, let's see.
How about Newt Gingrich? Newt cheated on his wife while she was ill and delivered divorce papers to her while she was still in the hospital. And he is still considered a Republican paragon.
And then there's John McCain.
McCain cheated on his first wife with the current Mrs. McCain while his wife was in the hospital recovering from a car accident. The car accident left his first wife, a former bikini model, overweight and disfigured. So McCain dumped her for Mrs. McCain No. 2, who, by the way, is 17 years younger than him and is a wealthy beer heiress on top of that.
The only lesson here is that hypocrisy knows no bounds or party lines.
John's career just went down the toilet because he can't keep it in his pants. What all this means is he might make a good lawyer!
