In a year or so, when she's prematurely grey
And the blossom in her cheek has turned to chalk,
She'll come home and lo! He'll have upped and run away
With a social-climbing heiress from New York.

Ouch! That's gonna leave a red mark! Right, Breck Girl?

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's
His hair was perfect

Edwards is a pos of course.

YOU are worse however. What a sewer your mind must be.

Now, now, Jow. Please to engage the keyboard with more passion!

love child is made legitimate

I don't think so, unless the literal definition of "bastard" has mutated over the years.

He probably thinks this post is about him.

Poor old Johnny!
How simply frightful!
How humiliating!
How delightful!

"Edwards is a pos of course. YOU are worse however. What a sewer your mind must be."

Excuse me? For merely plotting what is the likely arc of L'affaire d'Edwards? The prediction certainly doesn't come out of thin air: the suggested scenario is based on a fair assessment of Edwards' actions in the past six months. Anyone who with a dispassionate and unbiased mind has observed and listened to Edwards would almost certainly come to the conclusion that Edwards will act with that same degree of dishonesty, deceit, cynicism and manipulation which he has heretofore exhibited in this matter.

Exactly what is there in Edwards' behavior in this matter so far which fairly suggests he is likely to act in a way substantially different in the near future?

John stays loyally and celibately by her side until the end,...

Fat chance.

I beg your pardon. The Clampetts were from Arkansas, not North Carolina. And Duke Edward can get stuffed.

...and the baby grows up a spitting image of Henry Waxman, which sorely vexes and perturbs the corn flakes munching paterfamilias as, squinting in the dappling morning sunlight in the crystal chandelier over the breakfast table, he regards the child finishing her grits and preparing to skip out the door to the "earth day" lavishly bumper-stickered Hummer Limo rumbling in the Neo Greco circular driveway, Mr. Jeeves' inscrutably sarcastic face behind the wheel, waiting to drive the child to the moss-draped sylvan campus of the To Americas Acadamy for Young Ladeis, where today she will be doing a reading from her $600 American history tome, "Injustice In The 2 Americas; But Not In Both, Only In The One".

Since everyone's doing poetry, I'm gonna pimp my limerick:

There was a gal named Lisa Druck,
Who said, "Poverty sure does suck,
"I recommend highly
"Living the life of Rielle*,
"And John says I'm a helluva f...riend."

* - Note that this would not rhyme if her name was pronounced "ree-ell," as most people pronounced it when the scandal broke. However, her mouthpiece told the press that the preferred pronunciation is "riley." Her buddy Pigeon O'Brien has said the opposite, however. Who knows any more?

I expect Edwards will be indicted by the Feds sometime in the next couple of years.

He'll be convicted of campaign finance fraud and spend a year or two in jail.

By the time he gets out, Liz will be dead and gone and his bastard's mother will have decided the cash is all she really needs.

She'll write a book, and he'll end up on Oprah, just before getting his own reality TV show.

"...and the baby grows up a spitting image of Henry Waxman,"

That's the most horrifying image of the year.

Btw, as a point of historical fact, Edwards didn't really abdicate over a woman. that was the cover story. The real problem was he was collaborating with Hitler and the brits found out.

Which does nothing to hurt your theory. Except I doubt Edwards has any feeling for her whatsoever. Remember Edwards will never let anything come between him and his first love: himself.

Thou hast committed fornication, but it was in another country, and besides, the wench is dead.

Rielle shouldnt hold her breath waitng for Elizabeth to die, thinking John will marry her. It will never happen. She is too much of a skank. Good enough for a little bit on the side, but as a respectable wife? No Way!

You are unfair to the Clampetts. They have more class than this.
