It should be a rhetorical question but after Tweeting John Edwards latest declaration of Ass-hattedness to Twitter and Facebook about an alleged John Edwards sex tape, the question was asked jokingly:
“Is John Edwards and alleged Scumbag or is it confirmed he is a Scumbag. Don’t want you to cross any legal lines.”
Great question? When does an ambulance chasing trial lawyer turned professional lying-cheat, rat-bastard, who had an affair on his cancer-stricken wife and made a sex tape with his videographer who had his love child, cross the line to scumbag?
That’s a hard question to answer when he started on the other side of the line; but is allowing is mistress to create a sex tape she never destroyed her fault or is it his, and what about his reaction?
I can’t give an unbiased answer. I think he always was a scum bag. So I figured I’d give some of the folks who were willing to ignore the fact that he was an ambulance chasing trial lawyer turned professional lying-cheat, rat-bastard, and supported his goal to to be President, an opportunity to answer the question for us. To that end I have included an October 2007 list of Graniteroots town chairs for Edwards I found over at NH Insider. If anyone can tell us when or if he has crossed the line to ‘scumbag’ they can.
The list is here: http://granitegrok.com/blog/2011/05/is_john_edwards_a_scumbag.html
Or we can ask Tim Horrigan, also an Edwards fan at least in Jan of 2008, who is the one Democrat I know of most likely to read this post.
So find a name and take a survey. Let us know if Edwards is officially a scumbag across the ideological spectrum or…will the democrats now elevate him to Clintonesque stature? Sex scandal, perjury, a southern lilt, lying dirt-bag; that’s presidential material for left wingers. This could be a tough one.
