"that's the problem... one sweaty ball can make it hard for nicole to have contact with it."

I think it's interesting that John Edwards cheated on his wife while she had cancer, while Newt Gingrich simply divorced his under similar circumstances. Gingrich got away with that, through the magic make-ethical-considerations-go-away power of divorce papers, and if personal conduct is really so darn important he shouldn't have.

Of course, that was before Monica. Now we chuck people out of public life at the first whiff that they might not be perfect robots in private.

But John Edwards traded publicly on his perfect private life, saying things like this while his wife was battling cancer:

"Do not vote for us because you feel some sympathy or compassion for us. That would be an enormous mistake. The vote for the presidency is far too important for any of those things to influence it. But, I think every single candidate for president, Republican and Democratic have lives, personal lives that indicate something about what kind of human being they are. And I think it is a fair evaluation for America to engage in to look at what kind of human beings each of us are, and what kind of president we’d make."

And y'know... live by the sword, die by the sword. To hell with him. A shame, he actually campaigned about poverty as if it were still a real issue government could do something about. Nobody else has done that in the last 20 years.
