John Edwards: King of the Bobo's


Nobody’s Perfect: Okay, he’s not perfect.

John Edwards, King of the Bobo’s, has been having an affair with a skinny blond. He has also been paying her to run around video taping his every bobonousious move. He put her up in an expensive mistress abode far away from his wife and kids. And on top of that, he lied about it all to the press even though his wife has known all about it for quite some time. She decided not to divorce him…for whatever reasons of her own.

Most likely, she has low self-esteem. Who wouldn’t after years of living with the ‘narcissist’ John Edwards? You’d have to have the ego of a Madonna to hold up against John’s nuptial arguments about his ongoing rendezvous with himself as his most favorite person of choice.

Honey, that’s not my baby. I was just practicing “baby kissing” for my tours. You know, people hand you their babies all the time, it drives me crazy.”

While John Edwards was admitting his philandering ways, somehow to me, he didn’t look upset about it at all. After all, his wife knew---so his kids knew---and why should he be upset? Go ahead, beat him up. He’s already forgiven himself.

After all, Bill Clinton did exactly the same thing, and lied under oath, a much greater sin. John only lied to reporters. Has it hurt Bill’s career? Nope.

John probably looks in the mirror and sees another John…John Kennedy. The man who was the poster boy for adultery; a man who used to have two or three women at one time, sometimes two or three times a day. Kennedy made the word “orgy” almost a constitutional right to power. His brother Ted even took it a step further and left a ‘sweet young thing’ at the bottom of a lake, without even a filibuster.

And long before that, was the over-rated FDR, who had many an affair--one with Eleanor’s secretary, all while sitting in a wheelchair. Too bad YouTube wasn’t around then. Wheelchair Political Sex would have gotten a lot of Google.

So---instead of acting shocked, we should be discussing the real point: Who is trying to hurt John’s political career? Dick Morris has suggested the Clintons, and I believe he’s right.

Who knows? Maybe Obama had him on the short list for VP? Maybe the Clintons wanted payback.

If you read history and biographies, powerful men have grabbed whatever they wanted out of life, and most of the time that includes various sexual exploits.

All these politicians know when history is written, it won’t matter a lick what woman they bedded besides their wives, or who was gay, or who lied about it. It won’t even matter when they had themselves and their favorite strippers cloned.

But, what is amazing is just how many women who are married to these powerful men forgive the man and stay married to them. Most of these women can support themselves and their children very well, so why?

Take Hillary. She got five-course meals every night because her husband was President. If I were first lady and found out my husband was having an affair, and the choice was for ME to leave? I would have probably brought the finest girls from Vegas and set them up at his expense and then traveled the world…which is exactly what Hillary and Eleanor did at our expense.

If the real truth came out, the amount of money paid out to hush up illegitimate children and sexual affairs by famous men of power would probably surpass the national debt. Because as brilliant as men are…they see a beautiful or sexy woman, and they just can’t seem to help themselves. Most of the time, it’s kept a well guarded secret because so many of them do it.

Then there are the men who just use porn or prostitutes, or frequent the strip bars, thereby telling themselves they are not “having affairs” so that they can look in their wives eyes and say, “I love you honey” and actually think they mean it.

Remember Jimmy Carter's “lusting” confession in Playboy?

Men throughout history have set up the “just deny” old boy’s clubs, because, let’s face it… most of them need their wives. Bill Clinton needed Hillary. She literally saved his career when it was reported he was having an affair with Gennifer Flowers.

And it’s not only the Democrats that have affairs. Have both Bushes been faithful to their wives? Has John McCain? He left a wife who waited for him while he was in Vietnam, only to come back and marry a woman who could help put him in the White House.

And Obama? Do you think he’s been faithful all these years to his wife?

You might say their private lives should not even be talked about, and it used to be that way. But in a world where millions of women vote…it’s all a matter of trust. And if a man can lie to his wife, lying to voters is nothing.

And that’s why it’s important. And if there is one thing we need right now, it’s leaders we can trust.

John Edwards might be forgiven by his wife, his kids, his mistress, and even his dogs, but the jury is out on whether the American people will forgive him…nice bobo hair or not.
