John Edwards concedes to National Enquirer, Mickey Kaus

Regarding the news that John Edwards has confirmed the National Enquirer story about an affair with Rielle Hunter, some observations...

  • The Leftosphere will studiously ignore their previous ridicule of the people who covered that story.

  • Ultimately, the story isn't really a political point.  It's disappointing, it's sad, it's tragic.  And after John Edwards acknowledges lying about the National Enquirer claims, it should be private.

  • Nevertheless, there will be a great deal of noise in the blogosphere about this for a few days.  The story is not about Edwards having an affair, but about the fact that, despite the outraged protestations from critics, the National Enquirer and Mickey Kaus were right all along.

  • Mickey Kaus is going to be insufferable.

Either way, you're right... erm... correct.  See, I'm a lefty myself but like reading "The Next Right" as a balanced viewpoint to the red meat I read over in the left lane.  I read this article and felt it was time to register and comment:  Succinct, accurate, well said.  Thanks for the post!

John Edwards is sexually active? I thought he was "dismembered" in a car accident years ago and his inclusion among the Democratic hopefuls was purely sympathetic. Maybe I'm thinking about someone else but I was pretty sure it was him I was thinking of.

Anyways...Any bets on whether or not his wife will run for office next year?
