It’s interesting that the Drudge Report, which is having a field day with the recent John Edwards disaster, juxtaposes its articles about his confession with an ad to donate to John McCain. By “interesting” of course, I mean “delicious”.
Yes, it’s likely you didn’t know that McCain cheated on his first wife (and not just with Cindy, whom he married five weeks after his divorce with Carol)
Hmm…but how is it that something like multiple affairs while married (to a wife who raised your three children while you were in a prison camp and who didn’t tell you about her severe injuries from a car accident to keep you from worrying), which assaults his integrity, hasn’t been mentioned much at all in the election by newspapers and their many investigative pieces. They’ll try to analyze anything that can be construed as negative in Obama’s pristine history, but something so obviously corrupt as extramarital affairs in McCain’s is left out of the rosy picture. Of course, the Grey Lady had that specious lobbyist peice, but McCain’s history is not only more verifiable, but jucier.
But of course, the lack of coverage couldn’t be because John McCain can do no wrong! According to McCain’s sulky, jealous, and petulant ads, the media loves Obama.
Now, this post isn’t at all denying the übersleaziness of one John Edwards, who cheated on his terminally ill wife (remission or not, she still had cancer). Really it just restores my faith in our political system, run by arrogant, privileged men.
