I agree with the above writer.  Yeah, I'm pissed.  Edwards does deserve to get fired from his "career" as pol.  Cenk, I rarely depart from your nearly unerring, continually quotable wisdom, but in this case I do.  And it's not because I'm a woman.  I don't  feel personally betrayed because that might have been my husband and I might be dying of cancer.  I don't know those people and I don't care about their private tradegies and passions; I've got my own and that's what interests me. 

Here's why I'm mad as fuck:  I believed Edwards was a general - a boots-on-the-ground leader, but turns out, he's just a spoiled pretty boy pansy who is supposed to be fighting a war for the future of this country and instead, tossed it away for a little flattery from a 42-year-old loser?  Really?  That's all it took? 

Until Edwards bowed out (as a true statesman, I'd thought, at the time), I put a hand-designed bumper-sticker on my car, "Edwards/Clark - 2008"  This is the ticket I thought could change the course of our history, not just as a nation but as a planet.  What a fool I was.  I never believed that much in Obama. I do feel betrayed.  There was way too much on the line for him to behave that recklessly and stupidly.  It's like a commanding officer in the thick of battle saying, "Excuse me guys, I just really have to have a beer and get laid.  I'll be right back."  We all want to get laid.  We all want people to fawn over us and fall in love with us and suck our privates, whatever gender.  That's being human.  What makes Edwards a duschebag is the fact that he gave in when he did.  He couldn't get through his campaign?  He couldn't wait for his wife to die?  The man is pitiful -- a fucking junior achievement prepboy. 

And, this has nothing to do with John McCain.  Comparisons only undercut our position.  I say throw them both under the bus.  I want to see tire marks.
