I just called foul in somebody else's fight. Whenever partisans see one of their guys getting attacked they think the other guys don't get equal treatment. I admit it, despite having little interest in defending Edwards, one of my first thoughts when I saw the Edwards story was imagining how members of the media who run interference for Saint McCain (with sprinkles!) might feel a slight pang of worry over McCain's own sexual history and whether they would have to acknowledge it. I'm sure they won't. How can they go there? Heck, Newsweek has a column called "On Faith" co-authored by a woman (a Village elder and social queen bee called Sally Quinn) who walks before her own wake of marital wreckage. And it wouldn't actually be fair, right? I mean, Edwards isn't even a candidate for anything, anymore. He's just a rich former Senator who was insane to think he could run for President. Personally, why would I defend him? It's the opposite. He would have taken my party down with him if he'd gotten the nomination. GC

It is like the 5 year old who gets caught stealing cookies and instead of taking the blame, points to EVERYONE ELSE as if that is a justification. Sort of like you just did here with your interjection of McCain. Unfortunately, that doesn't work for most 5 year olds and I don't see much success with that tactic here.

Simply target the lowest common denominator...the god, guns, nascar, and country music crowd, and "wow" them with his mediocre intelligence.

Although the "overproduced truck commercial pablum" that currently passes for it on most FM country stations is not my thing. As for Franken, he's an excellent person and I wish he were doing better, since Coleman is more rubber stamp than Senator, but it's beyond a stretch to call the disappointing St. Cloud event (the one the wingnuts are having so much fun with) a "rally". When Coleman was St. Paul mayor he and I were neighbors. I never met him but we crossed paths now and then. I won't repeat the gossip my barber used to pass along about him.

Given the obvious - you never tell secrets to someone named Pigeon - O'Brien took her 15 minutes of fame and ran with it. According to O'Brien, Edwards and Hunter met at a bar, he lied about the time line of the affair, the baby was his because Rielle loved him and wouldn't have a baby with someone she didn't love (not exactly faultless logic), and Hunter is one step away from sainthood. "She's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful person in a very ugly position, and I really feel for her," O'Brien said. "I think that - I really have never known someone so insistent upon integrity and honesty and openness." Never? Who are your friends? Rodriguez: "But someone who has an affair with a married man you say has integrity and honesty?" O'Brien: "I think she thought that he had quite a bit of integrity, and I think that that appealed to her about him. Sometimes we make mistakes, sometimes we pick people to fall in love with that maybe aren't the greatest choice at the time. I can't judge her in that, I can't fault her in that. . . ." Hey, we'll fault her. He was a married man with a sick wife, and he was running for president. Unless it's your goal to become a home-wrecker or blackmailer, how can that relationship possibly work out well? Rodriguez: "So for her this was about love . . . ?" O'Brien: "Yes, very much so." Rodriguez: " . . . not sex?" O'Brien: "No! No, no, no, no, no! No, no!" That's eight No's for those of you playing at home. Perhaps if Hunter or Edwards would have said "No" . . . Some other highlights: O'Brien described Hunter as "a very keenly intellectually engaged woman. She's very insistent upon rigorous dialogue . . ." Edwards, in fact, enjoyed their rigorous dialogue: "Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Yes! Yes!" O'Brien said that Hunter "digs very deeply," and that she and Edwards "connected very deeply." Sometimes Tattle writes itself. As for when O'Brien and Hunter fell out as friends, O'Brien said: "We lost touch in about May or June of '06, right before she began work on the webisodes. I think she was gearing up to really engage in the big piece of work that she was doing for him, so her head was in a different space . . ." It took awhile, but now we know where her head was and what her big piece of work was. From the Philadelphia Inquireer...and EXCEPTIONALLY liberal newspaper.

She was fiercely devoted to astrology and New Age spirituality. She'd been a New York party girl, she'd been married and divorced, she'd been a seeker and a teacher and was a firm believer in the power of truth Please excuse me while I go hurl a chunk of hypocrital mas. That's seems to be promising. Last edited by MBLovebanker; 04/09/11 04:42 AM. Reason: TOS: spam
