John Edwards has to be one of the most disgraceful politicians ever. I always saw him as a phony who did not really care about the people he purported to and was only in politics because of personal ambition. Edwards fabricated a nice story of growing up as the “son of a mill worker.” That part is true, but Edwards exaggerated his family’s humble roots. In one of his campaign videos, he has a photo of a small home he claims he grew up in.

[The pampered phony.]

In truth, Edward’s family moved out of that home when he was still a young kid and into a larger home. He took up a job at the University of North Carolina’s Southern Poverty Law Center. Nice. Really selfless. But not really. Edwards decided that he would help poor people but only if the tax payers who pay him for than $200,000 a year, his salary at SPLC.

The same man who attacked the barons on Wall Street was later found to be doing consulting work for them. Even before knowing these facts, I always sensed that Edwards was nothing more than a greedy lawyer in it for himself and only acted the Southern gentleman.

But of all his acts, none is more despicable than his cheating on his cancer-stricken wife. Edwards apparently also fathered a child with a mistress whom was a campaign staffer. And now one of his former aides informers us:

Former Edwards aide Andrew Young says the ex-senator and his former mistress, Rielle Hunter, once made a sex tape, according to someone who has seen Young’s book proposal.

Elizabeth Edwards is said to hold Young partly to blame for her husband’s affair, since Young knew it was going on and sometimes used his cell phone to conference the senator and his girlfriend.

What is even more incredible is that Edwards continued to run for president despite his affair. Had he received the nomination, this would have devastated the Democratic party and required an immediate change of nominee. How selfish does one have to be that he would run for president knowing full well that if such information came out - as it would - it would ruin his party’s electoral chances?

Edwards cares only about one person: Edwards
