Life and Lies of John Edwards

Here are some of the best hits of Edwards hypocrisy:
1. "I think this President has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen." -- John Edwards, Feb. 12, 1999
2. Interview with Katie Couric: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2007/12/19

COURIC: Harry Truman said, "A man not honorable in his marital relations is not usually honorable in any other." Some people don't feel comfortable supporting a candidate who has not remained faithful to his or her spouse. Can you understand their position?
EDWARDS: Of course. I mean, for a lot of Americans-- including the family that I grew up with, I mean, it's-- it's fundamental to-- how you judge people and human character-- whether you keep your word, whether you keep what is your ultimate word, which is that-- you love-- your spouse, and you'll stay with them.
......
COURIC: So you think it's-- an appropriate way to judge a candidate?
EDWARDS: Yeah.
3. "I never liked John Edwards, I ignored him for most of the primary because he sucked at organizing and messaging, and because I heard of several cases where he was in rooms with hedge fund guys and told them he would turn to the center in the general."

4. Ending his college scholarship program once his political career was over. If he were the Democratic nominee for president, you bet your ass he'd have extended it.
Then there is the utter stupidity:
1. Cheating while running for president
- Cheating while running for president and not knowing how to "protect himself"
- Allowing his name to be considered for Vice President knowing that could sink Obama if he were chosen
- Building a huge fucking house while running a campaign on poverty (knowing he'd get crap)
- Working for a hedge fund while running a campaign based on poverty
