I know I'm going to get relegated to the Conspiracy Theory Dungeon for this but: Is anyone impressed

[patrice]

by the fact that John Edwards (who oh so coincidentally stumbled into bimbo problems at exactly the worst time) was from the South and Eric Cantor is from the South?

You know, folks who do that sort of thing DO plan ahead quite a bit and even though Edwards has fixed things somewhat by marrying RH, I still kind of wonder what that WHOLE story is.

1. OP makes little to no sense...OP rank from 1-10

13. Like bimbos don't get planted? You do recall someone named Linda Tripp, don't you? nt

[snooper2]

20. I've never seen a bimbo get planted.

Do they require a certain soil type or pretty much grow anywhere?

2. when did he marry rielle? thats news to me....

3. I don't get the conspiracy about being from The South.

Al Gore was from The South and there was nothing nefarious about him. Same thing with Don Siegelman.

And for what it's worth, John Edwards is still single and hasn't married Rielle Hunter and probably doesn't plan to.

4. huh?

oh, and I don't think he's married RH.

5. Your tinfoil hat is on too tight.

No conspiracy here - just a guy who couldn't keep his zipper up.

6. So they are both southern?

Is that the point you are making? Because I don't see another point in your post.

BTW, is there a 'good' time for a politician to stumble into 'bimbo problems?' And the Edwards scandal didn't even break until after he had dropped out of the race.

7. Very weak correlation. nt

14. I know . . . just wondering if there isn't more to that story. nt

15. Oh, and I think the fact that JE knows hedge-funds intimately is kind of interesting too & was

talking economic justice when his dick got him busted . . . .

[Jazz Ambassador]

8. Actually, look deeper

Eric Cantor is from the south, like John Edwards;
John Edwards fathered a child by Rielle Hunter;
Rielle Hunter was the model for the main character in a book by Jay McInerney;
Jay McInerney's first novel was made into a film starring Keifer Sutherland;
And Keifer Sutherland co-starred in "Flatliners" with Kevin Bacon!

9. Sweet!

10. This was even more funny...

because after I read your post, I saw Louis grinning a very fitting grin:D

16. Oh, ZZZZZ...I can get to Joseph Stalin in five direct relationship jumps...

[RZM]

17. LOL. I can get there in three.

I know somebody who once had dinner with one of his translators :)

[Lex]

18. John Edwards has married Rielle Hunter?

When did THAT happen?

[patrice]

19. Sorry! Too late to fix it: Planning to marry . . .
