Senator Edwards the Comedian

So, the National Enquirer reports that it caught 2004 Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Senator John Edwards with a mistress and a love child. In the article, Edwards denies the allegation in a way that sets up an old joke:

Edwards responded: “The story is false. It’s completely untrue, ridiculous,” adding: “Anyone who knows me knows that I have been in love with the same woman for 30-plus years.”

Too bad he didn’t finish with, “and if my wife finds out about her she will kill me.”

It would have wrecked his life but how often does a set up like that come along?

    The good news? It means one less consideration for Obama to make for his VP choice.
    on the other hand, thank the good Lord that Newt et al never did bad stuff like this.
