John Edwards, a career politician, had an affair. A horrible lapse of judgment certainly. Extremely painful for his family, no doubt. But spare me the hand-wringing of other politicians over this mess. His former presidential campaign manager David Bonoir, himself a former Michigan congressman, issued a statement after Edwards confessed when he said, "You can't lie in politics and expect to have people's confidence."
Shocked, he is. Shocked! I don't mean to be a cynic jumping on the politician-bashing bandwagon, but is anyone really surprised that yet another politician was caught doing something most of us would find repulsive. Really?
Actually, that is pretty cynical. Think I'll go rest.
