Michelle Malkin is reporting this morning that John Edwards will finally admit what we’ve known all along — he’s the daddy.
It is about time.
But I’m going to go where smarter people probably would not.
As Michelle quotes from the book Game Change, “Confronted then with the Enquirer photo of her husband cuddling Hunter’s baby, she insisted to Palmieri that she still believed he was not the father. ‘I have to believe it,’ Elizabeth said. ‘Because if I don’t, it means I’m married to a monster.’”
Having read the stuff about the relationship between Elizabeth and John Edwards, I think if Elizabeth Edwards wants to see what the monster looks like in their marriage, she should look in the mirror.
I am in no way excusing or justifying John Edwards cheating on his wife. But I was really shocked that the man who admitted he has “increasingly egocentric and narcissistic” is married to someone more narcissistic than himself. Elizabeth comes across as a demeaning witch.
She belittles her husband. She belittles his work. She belittles his family. She belittles his education.
Neither John nor Elizabeth Edwards comes off looking flattering. John Edwards has, thankfully, been driven from the public stage, hopefully permanently. Elizabeth is still sometimes trotted out as a leftwing hero for a bunch of socialist causes, but she too should be dismissed. From the book:
With her husband, she could be intensely affectionate or brutally dismissive. At times subtly, at times blatantly, she was forever letting John know that she regarded him as her intellectual inferior. She called her spouse a ’hick’ in front of other people and derided his parents as rednecks. One time, when a friend asked if John had read a certain book, Elizabeth burst out laughing. ’Oh, he doesn’t read books,’ she said. ’I’m the one who reads books.’
Guess he got his revenge. If the psychobabble is true that men marry their mothers, Edwards’ mother must have been a piece of work.
What is equally disturbing is how the press continued to portray the Edwards family as some sort of loving genteel southern family still tied to their working class roots. It is clear nothing is further from the truth and it is equally clear at least two reporters knew it — I venture to guess more knew it than will admit it.
Instead of a genteel southern family, we’ve got the War of the Roses. Someone please queue the falling chandelier.

Between you and Rush Limbaugh (not so hot for Beck), I keep on top of where the right is at. Let’s focus 100% attention on getting the right people elected in the primaries. Filing deadlines are coming up fast, we have to seize the opportunity before the RINOs in the national committee gum up the works with more establishment types. We’re counting on you. Every word you type about the has-been Edwards is a waste of your time that could be spent motivating us toward that effort. OK thanks for being a leader, I respect you a lot, just had to let you know your first instinct not to write that post was the right one. Bye!

As for the term “moby”, it’s almost interchangable with troll, except I believe it specifically connotes left-leaning provocateurs.
Like my Dad used to tell me, “go look it up”. I recommend urbandictionary.com.
These are all very old, and universally understood web terms. Even a n00b like me who avoids using them as much as humanly possible isn’t dumb enough to dismiss the jargon. Entymology is a fluid thing, and all that.

And the Moby thing, well, from www.urbandictionary.com:
MOBY — An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question.
The term is derived from the name of the liberal musician Moby, who famously suggested in February of 2004 that left-wing activists engage in this type of subterfuge: “For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.” Etc.
Which is simply more evidence, if any more were needed, that leftists are scheming, devious twerps who hold no morality of any kind and live by the mantra, “I’m a super person and if you don’t agree with me, you suck…”

Christine (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 8:59AM EDT (link)I have very, very strong feelings about infidelity, but the Edwards have played this for all it is worth. That tempers my feelings a bit.
A liberal wouldn’t waste the blink of an eye to demonize a Republican for this. A Republican wouldn’t have been allowed to wait 18 months after the fact to quietly admit, on the tail end of Brown’s win where it probably won’t be noticed by many, that he is the father of that baby.
John Edwards is a useless ambulance chaser whose looks nearly got him a job one heartbeat away from the presidency. His wife, if rumors are true, is an opportunist with a superiority complex.
I’m sick of being told I have to be nice just because I am a member of the Republican party. We have to show the liberals that we will not take this [nonsense] lying down anymore, and I’m terribly sorry if it offends you but that’s going to mean pointing out their hypocrisy every now and then, and maybe slinging a little mud ourselves when the situations warrant.
The tea parties are fantatic, but we’re not going to win on tea parties alone.

makemyday (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 9:28AM EDT (link)How does a predator bring down a much larger prey? He hunts in a pack, attacking the herd at their weakest point. He selects a target and together the pack attacks the flank of the animal until it is brought down. They go where the strongest aren’t at and they go for the soft underbelly first.
It can be said that Erick is doing the same with this on “Can’t keep it in his pants” and “Can’t keep it on the bridge”. As the prey concentrates on one direction of attack, he opens his flank to another pack member.
Where will Erick and RedState come from next? Don’t know, but he keeps exposing their flanks and I for one am glad he does.

How is this inappropriate? It highlights another angle on the motivations of the left.
yoyo (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 9:03AM EDT (link)I agree with Neil (as if he needs me to do so). What is wrong with Erick pointing this out?
Most people, like myself – and you too, if you were to admit it – have only the MSM view of the Edwards’. The John-is-a-JERK-Elizabeth-is-a-saint-martyring-herself-for-her-husband,-and-who-BTW-has-CANCER view of them. We had our suspicions, and our gut tells us that all is not as it seems, but ….
I have no intentions to read Elizabeth’s book (whatever it was called) nor did I intend to read “Game Change”. Since Erick is one of the few (if not the ONLY) paid contributors here, I appreciate his “reading it for me” and letting me know what is really in it.
If you have truly read a lot of his posts – as you claim – you will notice that many, many, many, many of them are centered not around politics (per se) but around the FAMILY, VALUES, and PRINCIPLES. How those apply to politics and how they apply to our elected representatives (or DONT APPLY, in a lot of cases) is what makes this an ACTIVIST site, not a COMMENTARY site. He writes to motivate and inspire. Not to just add “his two cents” on politician “X” on a daily basis.
Keep it up Erick. Instinct is for animals. Intelligence, wisdom, and discernment is our ability to resist that instinct.

We got to bash John, who deserved it, and they sold us the martyr, Elizabeth. Frequently, the radical feminists like to portray themselves and other women as victims.
Though RS really is a commentary site and an activist site, its’ foundation is based on Conservative principles, which include the family values you mentioned. Our ‘politics’ and promotion of ideas, issues, and candidates all connect together and you cannot achieve what we wish to here at RS, without that foundation.
Everything about the Edwards family was packaged to the public, and bought by us with the help of the MSM. Even when the curtain was pulled aside, we still had to listen to the cover-up and victimhood stories. Now we see another example of the Lefts’ hypocrisy in the political world. The political world is the one that governs our nation, and when it is driven by those without principles…..then you see exactly why RedState exists.

Scope (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:25AM EDT (link)and don’t forget the biggest victim Hillary Clinton. I can still picture her sitting there all prim and proper talking to the TV cameras, and saying that Bill had nothing to do with that woman, and, that it was all a “vast right wing conspiracy.” All the while she knew the truth, as, Monica wasn’t the first (the bought off Jennifer Flowers comes to mind), and, I’m absolutely certain that she wasn’t the last. Female martyrs are weak, spineless maggots on society. They stay with the louts for money, prestige and power, and, make whores of themselves in the process. They have no self-respect and, don’t deserve respect from anyone. Jenny Sanford was correct in “moving on” however, her vocalizing it in the national news only speaks to revenge which is not an admirable quality either.
Scope, here in the Lowcountry of SC, it isn't so bad - really. She lives "just down the street"...
yoyo (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:35AM EDT (link)And Jenny has attempted to remain as private as possible – considering.
As for “revenge”, while not an admirable quality, it sure beats playing the victim. I reserve any judgement of JS on the basis of:

I suspect Obama is feeling a little scorned after the Republican win in Mass, and, it being a repudiation of his governance and policies. Let’s say, “Hell hath no fury like a narcissist President scorned.”

Playing that victim card for Hillary
Leopard1996 (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:27PM EDT (link)Earned her a NY senate seat, a failed presidential run, and a first class seat on the sinking shp S.S. Obama.
So hind site being 20/20, maybe she shouldn’t have played that victim card after all.

It's not just Hair-God Edwards
Duke Thursday, January 21st at 9:21AM EDT (link)I’ve heard reports of the behavoir of many of the other “first couples,” and wannabe “first couples.” Some of this came from retired federal employees that were probably not supposed to ever talk about it.
Hillary actually had to invent more epithets because there weren’t enough already in our language, slang included. The Gore’s were about as disfunctional as a marriage of satan and Jesus. The history of these pretend marriages, perhaps better described as marriages of convenience, goes back to the ’60s.
And the comparison between the ingrained contempt and disrespect of the liberals and the grace and aplomb of the likes of Mr. & Mrs. Dubya is stark and in a political way, very telling. How can someone with little or no respect for their husband/wife have any for mere subjects of the realm like you and me?
I wonder what it’s like to be Mr. Pelosi?
It’s not about a purge. It’s about an insurrection.
You didn't hear about the Pelosi dungeon
Scope (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 9:29AM EDT (link)in the basement? It’s equipped with spiked whips, chains and a life sized dog house where Mr. Pelosi can only stand up, and turn around. The water bowl has been removed so as to avoid having to be taken out on a leash to pee.
So I went to a hockey game once
Darin_H (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 9:30AM EDT (link)It was at the RBC Center back when I lived in Raleigh with my (now) wife (this was sometime prior to 2004). During one of the commercial breaks, they show a couple of people up on the big board – first one was the UNC basketball coach, he was booed a little (NCSU territory after all) but there were plenty of cheers too. The next guy got all boos, LOUD BOOS. That man? John Edwards.
Yes, I got to boo John Edwards along with 19,000 ‘fans’ of his.

What drew my attention
conservvoter Thursday, January 21st at 10:09AM EDT (link)was the fact that this nonstory is being covered by not one, but two top blogs.
“It is apparent this is INDEED something worth covering for the APPROVAL of those of us who recognize the hypocrisy of the LEFT & their State Run Media”? What does that mean? I already recognize the hypocrisy of the left & their media. Heck, my 11 year old recognizes the hypocrisy.
This just smacks more of gossip than anything else to me, but whatever. Enjoy.
This is really not the usual tabloid nonsense
RedBeard Thursday, January 21st at 11:09AM EDT (link)The thing that makes the whole Edwards saga important is the position he held, and the one he wanted to hold. Looking into the personal integrity and family ties of people we entrust with national security is justified, and essential.

Erick, I'm glad you went there.
chbroussard (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 9:42AM EDT (link)The biggest issue for me is not that Elizabeth Edwards is a condescending witch, but that women like her and Hillary Clinton KNOW that their husbands are philandering scums and still choose to stand beside them. If they are such proponents for the rights of women, why do they continue to stand by men that obviously have little regard for women other than to boost their insatiable egos and serve as vessels for their sexual appetites.
Don’t believe that Hillary was shocked by the Monica story. Bill had been messing around since way back in Arkansas, and she knew it. And don’t believe Elizabeth didn’t know about her philandering husband either. These women both like power and money, and they are willing to sell their dignity for it.
They were only outraged when these guys got caught, and we’re supposed to feel sorry for them? I don’t think so..

Just another fat, ugly, liberal woman
johnt Thursday, January 21st at 9:54AM EDT (link)They must be bred that way.
Fatty Edwards was only to quick to jump for the spotlight, the one created for and by her husband, another characteristic of liberal wives. Fatty Clinton and Vulgar Heinz Kerry come to mind here.
They must be bred on a farm somewhere, or a gene factory.

The externally unattractive parts of people like Teresa and Hillary are simply unimportant when compared to the unattractive character found on the inside and the resultant agenda.

It is all part of the larger war
izoneguy (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:14AM EDT (link)And it is war. The marxist/socialist agenda is tying very hard to upend America. John & Liz Edwards need to be pounded into the dirt so that they can never be a factor again.
Much like I pounded on Erroll Southers. Many here wanted to give the guy a break. He is toast. Gone to go cry with Van Jones. No more breaks allowed. It is all out war.
We have to keep going after the socialcrats at every level.
That includes all of Obama’s Czars.
Once they are retreating it will be time to dismantle the federal
government at all levels, starting with the EPA. Lisa Jackson must be stopped and thrown out.
We need to stay after the Clintons. Bill & Hillary are very slippery and they are sensing that they can come back and defeat Obama.
No way we can let them take the White House through the back door.
Those who had once simpered: “I don’t want to destroy the rich, I only want to seize a little of their surplus to help the poor, just a little, they’ll never miss it!” – then, later, had snapped: “The tycoons can stand being squeezed; they’ve amassed enough to last them for three generations” – then, later, had yelled: “Why should the people suffer while businessmen have reserves to last a year?” – now were screaming: “Why should we starve while some people have reserves to last a week?” – Atlas Shrugged
You would be surprised how many idiots
Scope (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 12:04PM EDT (link)still think that Bill Clinton was a great president. He was just a better liar than Obama, but, the Clintons still have the same “socialist” agenda. As Rush said yesterday, Hillary may as well as just start her campaign for the presidency in 2012 now. She can keep the seat warm until it’s Chelsea’s turn. We just got rid of one dynasty, the Kennedy’s, and, we need to get rid of the Clinton dynasty. They are as dangerous as Obama, and, are far ahead of him in collecting political favors from around the world.
I'm not a betting man, but there must be a pool
blooch Thursday, January 21st at 9:56PM EDT (link)somewhere on when Hillary will ease off the Otanic. HRC knows HCR FAIL better than anyone, she knows Barry is an economic basket case, and she doesn’t want to be around to take a hit when the unconnected trail of dots goes boom. Yeah, she’s a short-timer…probably just waiting until after the midterms for a little more clarity, hoping nothing blows up before then.

“If the Nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill.
The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The
difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the
money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%.Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our Country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the People.” – Thomas A. Edison
Hypocrisy - Dems modus operandi
tomw Thursday, January 21st at 10:34AM EDT (link)The most obvious point to be gleaned from this is that for Dems, no transgression, no foible, no scandal, no misstatement, if done by a Republican (especially a conservative) is too small that it shouldn’t be shouted from the rooftops, with said conservative dragged hounded from public life.
Conversely, no transgression, no foible, no scandal, and no misstatement is so large that it can’t be explained away, excused, justified, or just plain ignored. We conservatives tend to go after anyone, regardless of political leanings,
because we want to do the right thing and expect the same from our leaders. Dems don’t care about doing the right thing – they just want to win & accumulate more power.
OK, I cant resist
hickorystick (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 12:20PM EDT (link)This guy got rich “channeling dead baby’s”, but he can’t acknowledge his own son till now? Erick, This is legitimate topic because in every other hiring decision character and past history do come into consideration. Past behavior is a predictor of future behavior.

If he doesn’t choose carefully in his marriage, why should he choose carefully in his cabinet.
Mrs. Edwards lost all credibility
irishgirl Thursday, January 21st at 2:11PM EDT (link)when it was revealed that she knew all along what was going on and she still supported and campaigned for her husband. That’s why it is relevant to post on this story because Mr. and Mrs. Edwards are not to be trusted and should not be allowed to slither back into any type of public service. Now that most of the facts are out in the open, they should both totally disappear and with good riddance.
They pretty much all do. Being Mrs. Senator
Achance (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:52PM EDT (link)is usually worth it to them. The kinds of people who can get elected and the kinds of people who live with and “support” them or at least look good beside them aren’t like real people. Wish I had a nickel for every post-election divorce I’ve seen. He loses the election, he loses her.

I dont plan on reading the book
momo Thursday, January 21st at 2:42PM EDT (link)so I am glad to have Erick reveal details about the Edwards that I always suspected-After all the names slung at us by liberal politicians, talking heads and news personalities, I think revealing Elizabeth as a “monster” and nag is pretty mild!!!

I asked him about John Edwards and it was like seeing Lon Chaney Jr turn into the wolfman… He said Edwards had no honor, doesn’t keep his word and lies all the time. He claimed (actually “snarled”) that not one lawyer in NC trusted the SOB…

logical result of feminism
4life (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 5:02PM EDT (link)I think this sort of behavior from Elizabeth is the logical result of feminism. In my own life I’ve had to fight feminism’s affect on me. Its an incipid way of thinking that we see in popular and works its way into our psyche. Maybe I’m speaking for myself here, but the destructive effect of feminist thought is real and prevalent. Having said that, it takes two to tango. I would be surprised if he was the kind of man who made a point of building up his wife.
What part of feminism
Leopard1996 (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:31PM EDT (link)Tells a woman to stay with a man that is treating her like garbage like that.
My wife is a strong feminist type of woman, and I know if I pulled this garbage, I would not only be divorced, and losing more than 1/2 of my stuff, the next day after I signed the final check, I would probably have lost some manly parts.
No, her sticking around is probably more about opportunism than feminism.
“The accumluated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout, “Save Us!”….and I’ll look down and whisper, “No”…The Watchmen
Actually, I should have been more specific.
4life (Diary) Friday, January 22nd at 6:43AM EDT (link)I was refering to her belittling her husband in front of others that Erick was criticizing. Feminism preaches that women are in competition with men and need to promote themselves above men. The logical result is a condescending attitude toward men that does not make for a great marriage.
And I agree with you. Sticking with a philanderer is more about opportunism than feminism.
That I can agree with
Leopard1996 (Diary) Friday, January 22nd at 5:04PM EDT (link)Thank God, my wife doesn’t pull that mess, and she never had. She just wants equality of opportunity, not necessarily outcome.

Jack_Savage (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:19PM EDT (link)He was with his young (about 10) daughter and looked like he was down to about 135 pounds. I actually felt sorry for him in that instant – you know, spirit of Christmas and all.
I think the common thread here is that both he and Clinton had wives that were intolerable. I always thought that if Bill Clinton had given a national address right after the Lewinsky scandal broke, held up a picture of Hillary, and said simply, “This is who I am married to – what was I supposed to do?”, the whole country would have immediately forgiven him.
Agree sort of

As I explained to my wife tonight
Leopard1996 (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:35PM EDT (link)the fact that he was getting his privates waxed by the fat chick in the office ddn’t bother, I really did not care, it was the fact that when he put one hand on a Bible, and the other up in the air, and swore the oath to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help him God, and the proceeded to lie, and didn’t find his ass locked up for fined. I know that if it was me, my ass would have been sitting next to bubba in lockdown. That is what pissed me off with the Clinton thing.
“The accumluated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout, “Save Us!”….and I’ll look down and whisper, “No”…The Watchmen
Yep
Jack_Savage (Diary) Thursday, January 21st at 10:47PM EDT (link)It is the cover up. I remember Mike Barnacle breaking the cartel in support of Clinton and saying, “You know, a paragraph of truth from him in the beginning and this whole thing would have been avoided.”
Same holds true with Edwards, and this draws a parellel with Tiger. When he crashed his car, and I found out the time of the crash (around 2:30 am), I immediately told my wife, “He and his wife were fighting”. Of course no one knew what was to come, but I was right in a general sense. Anyway, every man in America knew that Edwards was the Dad, Slick Willie cheated and Tiger got clocked with a nine iron and his wife beat the back window out so she could pull him out and finish him off. And they all thought they could make it go away by denying and ignoring.
Wrong. Which brings me to the economy and Obama….
