Edwards Groveling Up a Storm
DENVER - John Edwards is burning up the phone lines, begging former aides and backers to forgive him for lying about his affair - but hearing their rage instead.
As Democrats kick off their convention Monday, the onetime presidential contender is a man without a party - or a political future - trying to rebuild bridges through dozens of remorseful phone calls.
It’s proving a hard sell with onetime true believers.
I have never revelled so much in another man’s suffering as I have watching John Edwards’ fall from grace. I just can’t think of a better guy this could have happened to. Every time I saw him on television preaching his deceiving and deceptive rhetoric it disgusted me with every fiber of my being. The chickens have come home to roost and what a glorious day it is.
