Rielle Hunter is critical of Elizabeth Edwards

Rielle Hunter is the woman at the center of the Sen. John Edwards scandal. In an article in the NY Daily News, Ms. Hunter is quoted as saying some negative things about Mrs. Elizabth Edwards.

What the heck is that all about?

According to the Daily News story, Ms. Hunter had a real ambition to be rich and famous. Well, I suppose those aren't bad goals. But is this the best way to do it? I'm thinking it isn't.

For the record: Elizabeth Edwards has been an incredible example for those struggling with cancer. There's no call to be running her down. It's just unnecessary.

Edwards admits extra-marital affair

Former presidential candidate John Ewards admitted to an extra-marital affair today. Were he to have secured the Democratic nomination, as he sought earlier this year, he would have created an untenable candidacy for not only himself but for his entire party.

Sen. Edwards' problems are his own, and would be private if he indeed was a private person. But, he isn't. Instead, he has sought and secured high public office and he even sought the highest office in this country.

This is someone without a lot of good sense. It is up to Mrs. Edwards to decide what kind of husband this fellow is. But, where it involves being a U.S. senator and presidential candidate, he has proven himself to have exceedingly poor judgment, in my opinion. I wouldn't vote for the man to be dog catcher.

It's a good thing Edwards didn't get the nod

Sen. John Edwards was a popular choice by many Democrats when they considered their presidential options for this year. He is articulate, has a good record legislatively and knows how to communicate well to mass media, among other virtues. But what possessed him to enter into a national-level race of any kind with this mistress and "love child" issue hanging around his neck?

Sen. Edwards was busted by the National Enquirer recently and this very private situation became public. Funny how those things tend to happen when you are a public person who represents your state in Washington DC who then tries to run for president.

What would have happened if he had gotten the nod over Sen. Obama? What was in his mind on this one? Someone is either able to run for president or not. He should have known better.
