So by now, everyone who uses a keyboard, cpu, monitor and mouse to learn things knows John Edwards has admitted an affair. But seriously, why is everyone getting so worked up about this? Its not the end of the world. A majority of men, overall men, admit to having affairs while married. Its not like John Edwards invaded a country for no reason or traded arms for hostages.

Anyone surprised he had an affair? I'm not. Not only have most men had affairs, but these are politicians, who by their nature are at least disingenuous. And its John Edwards. Honestly, who ever really bought what he made himself out to be? Maybe he does really care about poverty. But look at him, he barely won 1 senate election, for which he didn't even run for re-election, he got swamped in 2 presidential primaries, and when he was the Veep nominee, he did little to help Kerry. People didn't really buy his schtick anyway.

But overall, I think we need to stop caring about politicians affairs. In Europe and elsewhere in the Western world, no body does, so as long as the affair is not with anyone underage or rape. This should by no means nix him from an Obama administration. He would be still a great Solicitor General. By the time he'd be appointed, this whole thing would be so passé that people will either have forgotten or ceased to give a shit. lets stop making something out of nothing, and feeding into what the media thinks we should think.
