It's True!...To A Degree

Nine years ago, John Edwards had this to say about Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky affair: "I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter."

On Friday, after nearly a year of denials, Edwards confessed he'd committed his own "serious error in judgment" as he was preparing to run for president, an affair in 2006 that he said he admitted to his wife but had hoped to keep from the public.

"In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic," Edwards said in trying to explain his behavior.

That's right.  John Edwards has admitted to having an affair with the woman that the National Enquirer has claimed.  However, he still claims that the baby isn't his.

Of course, he's already lied about extramarital affairs, so why not lie about this too?

Six months ago, Edwards was among 10 presidential contenders asked about marital fidelity.

"It's fundamental to how you judge people," Edwards told CBS News.

So, When John Edwards talks about "two America's", he's right.  One for hypocritical people like him, and people like us.
