You know, the guy who ran for President of the US in 2004...  was John Kerry's VP nomination on the Democrat ticket...  ran again for PoTUS in 2008...  was a US Senator from North Carolina.  The $4K haircut or whatever it was?  Yeah, that guy.  Then the one who was found out by the National Enquirer for having a mistress and love child while his wife was dying of cancer - and then he concocted a story that one of his campaign managers was the father of the kid...  and then used campaign funds to pay his mistress?  Yeah, that guy.





Well, I was curious what he was up to.  Call me nostalgic.  I'll be doing the same in several years with Hillary Clinton.  Anyway...   so apparently he's still alive.  He's working as a personal injury lawyer in Pitt County, North Carolina.











"I was recently headed to Raleigh for a business venture when I noticed that former North Carolina Senator John Edwards was awaiting the same flight.











Yes, Edwards was at Philadelphia International Airport riding coach on Delta. No, there was no massive security or attention. In fact, nobody actually noticed him.











Sitting slouched in the terminal, his once admirable movie star looks and charm were replaced with a now sunken glare and a noticeable round potbelly. His luggage wasn’t fancy, nor was his demeanor.











Edwards, who ran for President in 2008, now looked like a Chevy Chase/National Lampoon-type of dad. It was almost alarming that nobody recognized him. I gave him a subtle wave and he exchanged a hesitant grin. It was very clear that he didn’t want any type of attention and I almost had to Google why.











...











I finally convinced myself that it might stroke his ego a little if I asked for a selfie. He acted as though he was too disheveled to engage, and swiftly declined. It was very clear that public shame had taken its toll on the man once praised for calling the country out on its class division. The face-to-face viewing of a man who was once in the spotlight and now discarded as a pariah was a scary sight to see."

Jon Edwards. Gary Hart. Bill Clinton. All Democrats and all were hunted down by the press for sex scandals. So was Donald Trump. They all denied it and that set off the press just like a matador's cape to a bull.

The press doesn't care. All the press wants to do is sell papers or gain ratings to sell to advertisers. Give the press the choice of covering a salacious sex story or a policy story and it will pick the ugly sex filled one every time. Every time.

All Trump had to do was admit it (the bus film) and warned that if you looked, you could find worse, but that was all in the past and he's changed. And then let it go. The story would've died.

Edwards was a smooth-talking, articulate, liberal crowd pleaser.

If he had been anything other than a straight while male, the DNC would have buried all that laundry and he would be a POTUS contender.

Did the man lose all of his money in the divorce, because as I recall the man made a fortune suing big tobacco.

Surprised he would be flying coach anywhere.  He lives in a 28k sq ft estate and is worth like $50 million.  He was one of the most successful ambulance chasers in the country prior to getting into politics.  I wouldn't be surprised if every doctor in NC refused to treat him when he dies.

Yeah, I too thought Bill had been disbarred for the perjury rap, until I brought it up in a "Bill Clinton is a dirt-bag" argument I was having with one of my former law professors.  I did not win on that point.

Hillary did fail the D.C. bar exam, so you can make fun of her for that.

The POS was a major player in causing the 2007 housing crisis.
In the '90s as a Clinton Federal prosecutor he pressured banks to lower lending standards under threat of discrimination charges. This led directly to the bad lending that nearly ruined our economy.

May he suffer gay shark blow job AIDS  and die alone.

He cheated one of our clients out of the custom home this particular client built for him in NC.

After the contractor finished the home, Edwards told him he had found another one, and he wasn't going to pay for it.

Somehow, I don't think he retained many friends on the hill.  He's not a person that other politicians really want to be associated with, apparently.  The whole 'messing around while your wife slowly dies of cancer' thing is a turnoff to most, regardless of political affiliation.  Whodathunkit?

Youre naïve the democrat standard vs the non-demcocrat standard  (hello McFly double standards)  98% percent of the media is a propaganda arm of the democrat party there is no objective reporting they are activists disguising as "reporters"
