Where's the media?
Well, the LA Times has ordered its bloggers not to talk about it:

Gee, now why would anyone think the media is biased?
I always knew Edwards was a sleazebag - imagine, this fellow could have been VP of the USA.

Re: Edwards love chile and mistress...where's the media?
Who cares about what politicians do in their personal lives anyway?
This is gossip, plain and simple.

If a man can't govern himself, how is he fit to govern others?
Plus, of course, there's the disgusting lack of morals - his wife is dying of cancer and he carries on an affair.

What's the point of getting power if you don't use it to get laid anyway?

Re: Edwards love chile and mistress...where's the media?
They didn't flaunt it in public either, because they knew that their subjects wouldn't approve.
Nowadays we're better equiped to scrutinize our politicians, and our standards have gotten higher besides.
Personally I used to think that a politician's private life is just that, private. I don't think that newspapers ought to sift through their laundry to find out every detail, but if it comes out - so be it. Don't tell me you wouldn't think less of somebody in your own life if you happen to find out that he's cheating on his dying wife.
Re: Edwards love chile and mistress...where's the media?
I'll just point out the the exact same situation happened not too long ago, with a Republican, and it received an equal level of non-coverage from the news media. It never got much past an AP item.
In fact, Newt Gingrich did one better by serving his dying wife with divorce papers while he was off dumping his spunk into a choir girl twenty years his junior. And all of this while leading the charge to impeach a sitting President for lying about sex. The layers of hypocrisy peel back like an onion ...
Anyway, I think the reason there was limited coverage of Gingrich is the same reason there's limited coverage of Edwards -- neither is serving in government right now. An ex-politician gets frisky? Yawn. Whereas Larry Craig was (and is) a serving Senator. And Larry Craig is a never-ending fountain of humor goodness: Not only does he want to drill all of America, he's tired of being yanked around by the nozzle.
-edit-
(From Crazed Rabbit's article in Slate: "That said, Edwards is no longer an elected official and is not running for any office now. Don't expect wall-to-wall coverage.")

Re: Edwards love chile and mistress...where's the media?
Nope definately wouldnt say our standards have gotten higher. In fact I'd say they've decreased quite substantially. Becuase of all this wonderful media coverage any person who's lived half a decent life is ran off becuase they don't want their skeletons to tear them apart. 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.
Wine is a bit different, as I am sure even kids will like it.

Re: Edwards love chile and mistress...where's the media?
I'm having sincere difficulties seeing what's the big ruckus, frankly. "Senior politicians sleep around too." Wow, how novel.
But then again I'm not a reporter with news pages to fill. Or a prudish, partisan American...
