Really Bad Joke: John Edwards for President?

Now that he's officially a lying scuzzball, did we dodge a bullet, or what? How many firsts did we avoid? First unwed mother? First bastard child, although I hardly think it fair to call the child the bastard. What would he have done to his love child had he been elected? Remember the movie: Absolute Power? Scary, isn't it? He lied to us, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, not politician lies, but real people-to-people lies. He should be banned from ever holding public office at any level ever again.
