It's OK Because Edwards Didn't LOVE Her?
I’m sorry to barge in this way, banging the door against the wall and not paying attention to anything except the fact that I cannot, CANNOT, believe this is happening. I’m talking about the John Edwards adultery story and his confession (to be broadcast tonight, I heard, on ABC) that he was having an affair with a 44-year-old he met in a bar in NYC while running for the Democratic nomination.
Not that I’m bitter. But this is a blog, right, so it’s supposed to be a “web log” (see my very first post concerning the word) and therefore a sort of free-form forum, yes?
Here goes.
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS. But I can. And yet it floors me, absolutely shocks me, because it is the same loop-tape playing again. I mean, I can’t even really say anything new about the Edwards business because I wrote a lead op-ed for Philly on Spitzer and already used all my good lines for that scandal.
Look, I was just on the phone with my stepson Matthew earlier today and he accused me of saying the same thing in what I write: that women are foolish and that men behave badly. That women toss themselves into tar-pit relationships and that guys can’t keep their flies zipped. That women give it up when they know better and men give in if they talk themselves into believing they won’t get caught.
Not us, of course. OTHER PEOPLE. (Yeah, right.)
