The other day John Edwards, former VP contender with John Kerry and a man whose name has been mentioned as a possible VP for Obama, was seen leaving the hotel room of Rielle Hunter a woman he is alleged to have not only had an affair with but also had a child with. The press, displaying is usual classiness, chased him into a public men’s room where he was forced to call security for an escort from the building.
Is John Edwards having an affair? Who cares? If a politician is having an affair I don’t care. If he’s not having an affair with some woman then he’s gay and I still don’t care. John Edwards seems like a decent guy, I voted for him and Kerry in 2004. He probably would have made a decent Vice President, far better than the guy who is in the slot now.
The press displayed its usual dickishness by chasing after John Edwards. And in the end only the gossip blogs and the Enquirer even published the story so I wonder if any of it is even true. And anyway let politicians have all the affairs they want. It’s between them and their spouses. Let them be gay all they want. It’s none of my business. We are a nation of prudes who want to simultaneously know all the juicy details and condemn the person we are being nosy about.
John Edwards may or may not be the father of Rielle Hunter’s child. Do I care? no and neither shuld you. As a politician all I care about is he going to fight for what I believe in. That is the sole criteria by which I judge a politician when deciding whether I vote for them or not. So next time you get a chance, vote for John Edwards, for something. I doubt he had an affair and I seriously doubt he went to get some nook nook from a woman that not only is it well publicized that they are having an affair but she was being stalked by the press to get some juicy pictures of John Edwards going to see her. He’s not that stupid and neither is she.
