I had a huge screed about 3/4 done slamming Edwards for his epic and galactic hypocrisy with regards to his lying about his affair and fathering of the baby with Rielle Hunter, but figured why bother?  I don’t think there has been anyone in history who has fallen so far so fast, simply by their [...]
