Sweet Sassy Molassy! One of the most hotly anticipated Deceivers of all time has entered the building. Put your hands together for John “Silky Breck Girl” Edwards!
He’s taking some practice shots, running the floor. Gosh, he just makes it all look so easy. I pity the poor schlub who has to face him in the first round. It’s going to be absolute murder.
What’s this? No waaaaaay! It’s Larry Craig! This just might be a battle for the ages, sports fans. Put on another pot of coffee, get out the checkbook, and pay Grandma for the rubdown! We’re in for an epic struggle of two enormous hypocrites!
Larry Craig is a #15 seed? I know his non-conference schedule has been weak since his arrest, but who made these brackets anyway?
John Edwards, for anyone who’s been under a rock since this blog debuted almost 18 months ago, is probably the most intensively blogged-about guy in Deceiver history. Start here and scroll down, if you’ve got a week.
His résumé speaks for itself. Faux-populist politician campaigns as Mr. Clean, crusading against the status quo because there were “two Americas.” And he was right. Turned out that America #1 was his wife, and America #2 was his blonde videographer Baby-Momma. This movie even had a chase scene — which ended in the men’s room of a Beverly Hills hotel with the National Enquirer in hot pursuit.
And then there’s the underdog, Idaho Republican Larry Craig.
The former U.S. Senator is firmly against gay marriage. And he’ll tell you all about it. In Morse Code. From the bathroom stall next to you.
This poll — and today’s seven other Round 1 matchups — will be open for 24 hours. Updated Brackets will be posted tomorrow.

My vote goes to John Edwards and the whole media blindness around this hypocrite.
While John Edwards would have had my vote any other time, Larry Craig is more damaging as far as I am concerned. Closeted homos who hate themselves so much that they work to keep other homosexuals down are far more distasteful to me. And that’s saying a lot when comparing Craig to Edwards, because I hate John Edwards.
The hair should have been a No. 1 seed.
How can you tell when John Edwards is lying? He’s breathing.
I do not like Larry Craig nor what he did, but John Edwards has my vote. Anything the guy does is crazy and deceiptful. I gag when I see him. Plus, the whole $450 haircut should be enough.
Angry Army Wife stole my comment.
Edwards cause he is still denying his daughter
Gotta give my coveted vote to John Edwards, who thinks he looks too much like Dennis Quaid in “Suspect.”
Ambulance chaser all the way, but it was a tough call.
Edwards. Just because I want to kick him in the nuts. Larry would LIKE to be kicked in the nuts.
Leaving the kid in the dust is just the worst. I’m bored with angry-at-themselves-closet-homosexuals.
Edwards, just because his pile of hypocrisy goes a little deeper than Craig’s.
The Breck Girl by a hair.
Gosh you all are so elequent and so correct.Edwards for the win. I would like to see him go all the way, win, and have the National Inquirer publish a picture of him and his award. (Okay…I know…be we can all dream.)
Both of them hurt their wives and constituents, Breck Girl just did a way better job
Edwards. Not even a contest.
John – simply because the media has all but ignored him and his deceitful ways.
Edwards because voting for him here is much more constructive than backhanding him for cheating on Elizabeth.
Larry Craig is a hypocrite; John Edwards is merely a liar. That’s how I see it, anyway.
Craig is pathetic,Edwards even more so – gotta go with the silky pony
Yep. john gets my vote.
I vote for Johnny B. Good. He’s much worse than B. Good in the John.
This was by far the toughest one yet for me. I picked Edwards in the end because he is an absolute bastard for treating his wife the way he is (and still does).
Edwards. No contest.
I went with Craig on this one because – at least when it was really obvious he was busted, Edwards dropped out – whereas Craig was busted, denied, dropped and then tried to get back in agaon – and also because I knew Edwards had this one locked up anyways. lol
I went Craig on this because I despise it when people in a power position try to subvert the legal system. In rare cases a judge will allow you to withdraw a guilty plea. After all the point of of a plea is to avoid the more serious consequences of a conviction after trial. He tried to do it solely because word leaked about it and wasted the court’s time with his failed motion.
The seeding is awful. Boooooooo selection committee. This should have been a sweet 16 match-up at least.
Craig hates on those sinful queers and then tries to play glory hole in the men’s room and that gets a 15 seed. Ridiculous.
And Edwards. OMG WTF TRL AOL MIA ROFL ROFL TTYL kekeke. What a homunculus.
I voted for Craig cuz he got screwed in the seeding.
Edwards, for his hair alone.
john edwards… do i really have to explain?!
Edwards is also a hypocrite for charging thousands of dollars…to lecture us on poverty!
Silky horse needs to fess up and deal with his kid the right way. Also, cheating on your wife (cancer or no) is a very douche-y thing to do.
Edwards because Deceiver doesn’t have enough space to go into all of the hypocritical things he’s done.
I vote for Edwards, but mainly because this little situation stopped him from being Obama’s running mate, which means we’re now stuck with Biden.
It’s close but Edwards for me.
Wow, I just voted for John Edwards. That was rough.
Hey, why does my ballot say Barrack Obama? Oh, voting machine is from Chicago.
Edwards. A potential president should be held to higher standards.
Sorry, Larry. I’m going to have to go for Johnny.
Edwards – no explanation necessary!
X, I voted for Craig as well, though Edwards is routing him. We can take some consolation in the fact that he would like getting screwed in the seeding.
Just sayin’.
Craig, hands down. Waaaay down.
John Edwards…’nuff said!
Craig…because at least Edwards wasn’t trying to pick up people in the bathroom. Gross!!!
john edwards.. do you really have to ask? :]
Mr. Edwards was my choice.
LOL at Scott F.
But yes, I’m for Edwards. I think everyone knows I picked him to win the whole thing.
I’ll have to vote for Larry Craig. Sadly enough, lots of husbands have affairs and then lie about it. But I’m not sure it’s that common to be so openly against gay marriage and then, uh, be so open-minded about that other thing he did.
Let’s see – Craig betraying fellow gays, or Edwards his wife and supporters for him as Pres – they both let down a LOT of folks. Oh well – flip coin – Craig.
This was especially tough for 2-15 matchup, but I went with Edwards.
Hoo yeah, once again a Talking Head gets taken down by his *ahem* little head……….not to mention the huge dis he did to his ailing wife. It’s gotta be Mr. Breck.
I voted for Edwards. He just defines the word “douchebag”…why isn’t he in the doouchebags category again?
I’ll give any attention to this John Edwards story that I can contribute. What a scum bag! That story truly disturbed me because of how blind the media were to it.
Edwards – I know who he is.
