Yeah, Jay Leno ran it ever night last week, which I guess reinforces both your points.

Also I'm pretty sure late night comedy shows have more influence then most news outlets.

Speaking of which, anyone know if The Cobert report covered it?

So this insignificant little speck of a story that isn't getting any coverage is getting media coverage then .
I'm outraged I tell ya .

What a scumbag... although I wouldn't feel too sorry for Elizabeth. She loves to tout her cancer every time hubby is down in the polls.

I'm sure she loves the fact she has cancer.

Judging how the Edwards uses her sickness politically as they can when they have a chance, the cancer is the best thing to happen to them since their son died. Not to sound too harsh and yada yada...:yes:

Gentlemen,

This thread is now turning from potty-mouthed to downright nasty. :beadyeyes2:

Mocking those with cancer is beneath this forum, and some of you have forgotten this is a PG site.

There is a kernel of interest within the husk of degradation, so I will leave the thread open for now; but take heed and watch both your language and the nature of your barbs.

Thank you kindly

:bow:

No one is mocking the woman for having cancer, just noting that she uses it to her husband's advantage.

Isntead of having good, or even half decent canidates we end up slimy passive aggressive spineless politico's who've lived a life of self denial in hopes of gaining political success. The "scrutiny" has ran off great men like Collen Powell from running, and Condoliza Rice wont even go on as a vp. No our standards have gotten creapy and worse, well thats puting it lightly, they've gone down the s****r and blocked up fermenting in sewer's. We have no standards anymore.

Our standards have only dropped the last two decades or so. When watched against the last three centuries ago, we've begun expecting more of our politicians' behaviour - though admittedly mostly as a reaction to how easier it has become to dig up dirt and how much the media covers it. The boredom with these details and the realization that a lot of politicians can be hedonistic is a thing of recent times.

Even as late as Kennedy, for example. He was fairly discreet but still it was a public secret that he was a cheating scumbag and he made Clinton look prudish by comparison, yet he got away with it.

A moment of laxity spawns a lifetime of heresy!

So our backroom coverage of US culture has come to this. A rumored affair gets reported by that bastion of truth-in-journalism, The National Enquirer, then re-reported by Fox News.com, who also points out that the woman's baby is claimed and verified to be another guy's; it then becomes a topic here, whose mangled title sneers 'chile', in a thinly-disguised ethno-bash, and decries a mainstream media cover-up.

Despite heroic efforts to make it into a topic worthy of discussion (the high price in privacy paid by prospective office-holders; the rising (or lowering) of moral standards expected of today's candidates), others are tempted to argue with Moderators' admonitions, so that the general frolic may continue.

(For the record: "HaHa Elizabeth Edwards! You have cancer! :laugh4: " would be ridicule, a deliberate often malicious belittling, not mockery, scorn ironically expressed by mimicry or sham deference, which is what occurred here.)

This pig's ear will never be a silk purse, my friends.
