It looks as if the New York Times are eating one of their own this morning "John Edwards, A Cautionary Tale" is the title of their last OPED.It begins "Self-destruction in politics is painful to watch for voters whose hopes are stirred time and again by the high promises of a compelling candidate. The case of former Senator John Edwards is especially tawdry and disturbing. He was criminally indicted on Friday on charges of misusing hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations to keep his mistress and their baby a secret while he pursued the White House in 2008 and protected “his public image as a devoted family man.”
Yeah Right!LOL a devoted family man well the truth cameout no matter how much the NYT never wanted to mention it until if I remember correctly a tabloid of all things brought it under the microscope.The National Enquirer thus making the NYT and the rest of he left wing aligned media look like the tabloid which has been true all along.Cover ups a part of the Democrat DNA in politics it seems.
The former Sen.Edwards is ethically and morally challenged as well "Mr. Edwards insists he is innocent: “I did not break the law,” he said on Friday. His lawyers say the $925,000 at issue was an entirely legal gift from two supporters designed to keep the truth not from voters, but from Mr. Edwards’s wife, Elizabeth, who died of cancer in December."Typical condesention of a liberal Democrat.
This is where it gets good "Either way, it is a sad truth being contested in federal court in Raleigh, N.C. Mr. Edwards could be acquitted, especially considering the fragile state of campaign laws in the frenzied world of big-money American politics. But the woeful courtroom coda to his once flourishing political career can only invite a further slide toward wariness and cynicism for American voters.
Until he became his own nemesis, Mr. Edwards had a storybook career. In 2004, as a freshman senator, he was chosen by John Kerry as his vice presidential running mate on the Democratic ticket. His campaign tales of hardscrabble roots and his populist idealizing were compelling, as were his wife’s political smarts, charm and personal struggle.
All of that made his fall in 2008 all the steeper as he was caught in a cascade of denials and lies and forced to confirm the scandal. Whatever happens with his case, Mr. Edwards has provided American politics and voters with the last thing the nation needs: another cautionary tale of hubris when honesty is the only acceptable option."
I love the left wing excuse by the NYT "Mr. Edwards could be acquitted, especially considering the fragile state of campaign laws in the frenzied world of big-money American politics."Now lets put the shoe on the other foot had this been a blue dog Democrat or Conservative Tea Partier (e.g Michele Bachmann Sarah Palin) the NYT along with the rest of the Democrat waterboys and butt sniffers would in true hypocritical fashion tar and feather them.
But the last part of the OPED is the kick to the curb "Whatever happens with his case, Mr. Edwards has provided American politics and voters with the last thing the nation needs: another cautionary tale of hubris when honesty is the only acceptable option."NYT eating one of their own.
Hey NYT keep up with that great unbiased journalism NOT!
