Forgive me, but I am losing my patience with the extremely extensive and unnecessarily aggressive coverage of the John Edwards faux pas concerning a somewhat inappropriate relationship with the cute, pert, undeniably attractive and virtually irresistible Rielle Hunter.

Friends, I ask you, “Why should one baby misstep wipe out a list of accomplishmens that’s more than 20 years long.” Is it a crime to care about the poor and disadvantaged like John Edwards does?

These anti-Edwards, anti-Obama, anti-progressive reporters are vicious. And I might say a touch jealous.

At least the New York Times has the decency to minimize the story, and keep the Presidential, albeit far off, light of hope alive that one day John Edwards will assume his rightful place in the oval office.

Relentless bashing of a good man’s character:
To all these hate mongering, mainstream midia newspaper people, I have only one more thing to say: Who was the one without sin who had the moral turpitude, the enormous audacity to cast the first stone?

If Elizabeth forgives him, that’s enough for me.

Actually, if you’re looking for someone to smear, how about John McCain who, in the middle of the Viet Nam war, left his unit for 7 years, forcing some other brave fighter of the skies to put his life on the line, daily dodging missiles, flying countless bombing missions, never knowing whether he was going to return to fight another day.

At least John Edwards had the steely courage, the moral resolve to admit he was sleeping with the enemy when kindhearted Elizabeth needed him most.

Next, I suppose we’re going to hear about some dreamed up crack, cocaine and dope smoking done by Barack Hussein prior to the final debate with Hillary Clinton. With the media, it’s always the liberal Democrats who get thrown under the pundit’s bus. It’s a shame because, when you’re working night and day trying to get the country back on the right track, there’s always somebody out there trying to stab you in the back. Et tu politicos periodicos.

Does it not smack of those days in 2000 when the Swift Boat vets tried to sink the Presidential ship of the good John Kerry? They condemned him for saying American soldiers engaged in wholesale butchery, brutality, murder, bestiality and torture during the Viet Nam war.

Okay, maybe he went a little overboard for dramatic emphasis, but, hello, haven’t the Republicans ever heard of free speech? Which reminds me.

When Osama criticizes middle class America for clinging to their bibles, religion and guns, duh, isn’t that just what they do? Maybe the truth hurts, but for the most part, middle America mouth-breathers, are semi-literate, gun worshiping, WalMart shopping louts.

In private, Obama admits it’s the elite opinion-leaders on the east and west coasts who’ll “Get me elected. I don’t really care that the American heartland mentality doesn’t share my progressive views on everything from gay marrige to reparations for African Americans to comprehensive Affirmative Action in the workplace and beyond.” All these years, I’m sure you’ll agree the black man has suffered because of both overt and covert racism.” States Barack emphatically with eyes as big as saucers,
“When I’m elected, I’ll create a playing field that rights historical wrongs; does what the framers of the constitution should and could have done in the first place. That, my friends, says Obama proudly (but with a sense of humility), will be my rightful place in history.”
