I agree with the concision of Atrios pertaining to the "public" John Edwards. What kind of fool does a guy have to be to run for President right after carving a new notch on his bedpost next to his wife's ear?
I'll grudgingly give Edwards credit for having the sense to cop to his affair on a Friday afternoon in the background of pointless Olympics media hoopla. In order to bury news like this about one of their own, by contrast, the Republicans will generally launch a new war or something.
With the Edwards affair now out in the open and lacking the news "legs" to sustain much public interest beyond the Olympics, the corporate media are now free to fully report on the case of John McCain's missing lobbyist girlfriend, Vicki Iseman. I wonder why the courageous Huffington Post isn't following up Chris Kelly's lead on that topic.
Update: Haha --- I beat Josh Marshall to the punch on the Iseman angle! That guy had better get on the ball with Petraeus/Lieberman '08!
