Edwards Exposed As A Typical Politician, Let's Just Hope That Obama Can Remain Honorable

According to a recent MSNNBC article, "Nine years ago, John Edwards had this to say about Bill Clinton and the Monica Lewinsky affair: 'I think this president has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter.'"

Well.. I wonder what Slick Willy is thinking now? And what about all those who supported Edwards (I gave him some serious interest)? It makes one loose all hope that politicians can keep even the simplest promises:

I, (name), take you, (name), to be my [opt: lawfully wedded] (husband/wife), my constant friend, my faithful partner and my love from this day forward. In the presence of God, our family and friends, I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals, to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH...

I guess that the old politicain joke is not too far off from the truth:

Q: How can you tell if a politician is lying?
A: His lips are moving.
