The pornography of John Edwards

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Great. A John Edwards sex tape? Maybe so, according to Gawker, maybe so:

Sources have told us that, in the throes of their affair, John Edwards and Rielle Hunter made a sex tape that contains "several sex acts." And that his aide, Andrew Young found it on an unmarked DVD.

The tape, say both our sources, is explicit and reveals that Edwards "is physically very striking, in a certain area. Everyone who sees it says 'whoa'. She's behind the camera at first."

Whoa? Well, he may have a lot going for him, "in a certain area," but he certainly screwed up his life by screwing.

You know, it was a great opportunity, but I'm increasingly embarrassed to admit that I was once a featured blogger, and a regular one, at Edwards's now-defunct One America Committee. (I wrote about that here, but the links are dead, just like the political career of this once-admirable and once-near-mighty figure. Alas.)
