I Can’t Blame John Edwards
Posted by Mr. Sensitive on August 19, 2008
I’ve spent the past week trying to decide whether I want to weigh in on the John Edwards affair with Rielle Hunter.
I mean…another politician gets caught in an affair with another woman. He asks for forgiveness while his poor wife stands beside him in a laughable sign of unity. And my initial response is always the same…
BULLSHIT!!!
Let’s have a moment of truth, shall we?
There are two types of married men:
1) Those who cheat on their wives, and
2) Those who think about cheating on their wives.
And every single married guy will ask himself the same question before crossing that line into adultery…
…will I get caught?
You know Johnny Boy asked himself that very question. And you have to admit that Rielle looks pretty good for a chick in her 40s.
So John’s decision came down to this…
…be faithful to my plain jane wife at home or bang this vibrant blonde.
I think the decision is easy. Don’t you?
Will I get caught?
I imagine Johnny Boy will do a better job of checking the birth control angle before he decides to strap his freak on.
In the meantime, he can rub this episode in the face of a certain conservative commentator who happened to question his sexuality a few months ago (and also happens to be a hot looking babe).
So John Edwards…step up to the podium and tell Ann Coulter to go $%&^# herself.

I’m going to have to disagree with you that Rielle Hunter and Ann Coulter are “hot.” I think they’re both worn out and trashy looking. I think Edwards could have done better than a New Age wacko/former drug addict.

Allison,
I agree with Mr. Sensitive that Rielle Hunter seems fairly hot for her age. Ann Coulter even hotter.
But I agree with you that John Edwards could have done even better. If he were on the “open market”, he could undoubtedly have gotten a terrific-looking woman. But he was married and running for president. This meant he couldn’t go out trolling for chicks. He had to find that rare target of opportunity. The one he found was good enough for the affair.
