Sweet, I love Law and Order!

John Edwards needs to come clean about the entire thing. He’s already lost whatever carreer he had left, so what does he have to lose?

I have no doubt Dick Wolfe will massage this story into a L&O script, but it of course will become a Republican senator or pol, since their stories always end up that way. We’ve stopped watching L&O; the formula is just pathetically predictable and all the cast changes have become downright annoying.

A Gawker commenter has the best quip:
“John Edwards must have had the same look as Denzel when those pesky National Enquirer reporters trapped him him the bathroom.”

John Edwards chief strategist Dave “Mudcat” Saunders, apparently still in the Edwards inner circle as of four days ago*, says “Barack Obama’s elitist campaign alienates South”.

The Democrats talk of tolerance, but in reality the only tolerance they ever exhibit is for their own intellectual arrogance — and they don’t have tolerance for my culture,” says Mudcat. “They think we’re a bunch of hillbilly heathens who go out and burn crosses and do crazy bullshit.

Let me guess… maybe the millionaire son of a poor millworker could help reach out?

Silly Saunders… Step 1 in redeeming public sinners is high profile rehab.

“John Edwards” is now the third (#3) most searched term on the NYT in the last thirty days, right behind “Obama” (#2) and “Cell phone” (#1).

Curiously “McCain” ranks 18th (#18).
