A trial lawyer with a knack for demagoguery. A state senator considered phony and shallow by his colleagues. Two times presidential hopeful. And two-timing his wife sick with cancer. This is John Edwards, an old acquaintance of this blog. Now he has to face the music in form of a federal grand jury that indicted him on six counts of violating campaign finance laws, lying to the government and conspiring to protect his candidacy by breaking the law. Not apparently but while the whole whole world was watching (in spite of the deafening silence of the mainstream media), he hid his pregnant mistress while seeking the nomination in 2008 by accepting nearly $1 million from two supporters to fund the deception. Anybody that read the National Enquirer knew that but John Edwards, that is pleading not guilty to all charges.
Even after all the damaging evidence put in front of our eyes, LA Times chooses to make Edwards look good by using a gigantic photo depicting him as Jor-El, the late father of Superman, trying to sugarcoat the fact that he's indicted and is guilty as hell. But who's to blame? According to jg6195 (John George Columbus Ohio), the republicans make him betray his cancer-ridden wife with a loony groupie using campaign funds for his sexcapade.
After all, he's still one of them, speaking of which...
Anthony Weiner. I will be brief (heh, heh) with this. It almost doesn't matter anymore if he did send to a young female co-ed follower a crotch shot with a... bonus track under his underwear, so to speak, that ended as a public tweet. What happened after this is what matters. Apparently:
1. He cannot be sure if it is really his crotch that appears on the photo.
2. Even after he denounced his facebook and twitter accounts were hacked (a federal crime), he doesn't want to involve the FBI, while he's more than ready to denounce other political adversaries.
3. He cannot answer yes or no to straight questions regarding the incident; besides, he's willing to call "jackass" reporters that are in ideologically affinity with him. Even worse, he calls the police to intimidate them.
4. He's ok with Markos Moulitsas disclosing the identities of underage girls marginally involved in the original scandal, in a sick, sleazy but somewhat sycophantic attempt to get the precious congressman exonerated.
After all, he's still one of them, too.
Edwards and Weiner, man up and fess up! Both of you! Anyway, it seems the count for A-Holes for the second semester of 2011 has already started.

I hate these days. People are telling you to STFU. Just say it, no matter how stupid or offensive it is.
