Profiles in Sewage: John Edwards gets a mistrial
Just watched his preening victory speech. What a great guy.

Not guilty on count 3.
"I want to make sure that everyone hears from me, and from my voice, that while I do not believe I did anything illegal or ever thought I was doing anything illegal, I did an awful, awful lot that was wrong," Edwards said. "And there is no one else responsible for my sins."

Knowing a Republican political operative (female, 30ish and married) from Iowa and hearing her first hand account of actions by a person no longer in the race this year, I'd have to say Edwards isn't unique.
I am not defending Edwards. I just have a hard time ranking the morally bankrupt.

I'm guessing Marcus Bachmann made a pass at her? He's a naughty one, that Marcus.

Typical defense attorney.

Not a fan, but he never should have been charged.
And do I think he's morally bankrupt? That's a harder one... he cheated on his wife. Lots of men do, and in some circumstances, I can see why. When they are apparently supportive AND fighting a life threatening (and eventually ending) disease? That's hard to justify.

Let the record show that Oga wants to watch John Edwards doin' it.

OK cm, I'm curious. If you find a personal decision on whether Edwards is morally bankrupt to be "hard", what would it take for you to find that decision easy? I ask, because I find this one VERY easy, based on what you pointed out - brazenly cheating on a wife over a fairly long period of time, who was all the while fighting cancer AND still supporting him.

In my mind, Morally bankrupt is generally reserved for the Charles Taylor, milosevic, serial/mass killer type who acts with little or no remorse.

I have a difficult time believing he is worse than Gingrich.

I think you're right. I should have just mentioned "typical lawyer" and not been so specific.

I thought moral bankruptcy was when someone knew what they were doing was wrong and also knew they were responsible for creating the problem, I didn't know that the bar for what one was doing wrong had to be genocides...

Edwards? Yeah he made his money on tobacco and mass tort litigation on the plaintiffs' side.
