The factual background is salacious and disturbing. Edwards cheated on his terminally ill wife and then lied about it. And then lied about it again. And then he lied about it some more. If convicted, however, it must be only because he violated campaign finance laws, and not because he acted like a jerk. The second part is, as we say, already well settled.

The fall from grace of former presidential and vice presidential candidate John Edwards, while not unprecedented, has been epic. Edwards has gone from the poster boy of the American Dream to the quintessential politician behaving badly.

The question is, will Edwards go from disgraced politician to criminal? Edwards was indicted on federal criminal charges stemming from his 2008 presidential campaign and affair with videographer/former campaign aide Rielle Hunter. Specifically, in the in the 19-page indictment which contains six felony charges, the government charged Edwards with accepting close to a million dollars in campaign donations which were actually used to keep his affair with Hunter secret.

    • Ah, John, I actually voted for him for President in 2004. I liked him better than Obama in 2008. Those $400 haircuts went to his head, I guess. The thing I liked most about him was his wife. Elizabeth was a wonderful person, a statesman and campaigner in her own right, fiesty and welcomed all challenges. Maybe that was his downfall. Sorry John, you act stupidly, this is what you get.

      it may be a yawn for you but the hostility and aggression i raise from many of your ilk is quite enjoyable and after 8 years of bush bashing everytime he farted i deem my pointing out leftylib hypocrisy legitimate, righteous, apropos, and quite refreshing. whenever a lib leader fucks up most on the left tend to ignore it. it is my mission in life to point out these little leftylib discrepancy's. stay tuned for plenty more. peace out!
