Regardless of one's opinion of Edwards, Maddow did a great service last night with her story

7. A nearly million dollar gift? To a multi millionaire?

I guess that makes sense to other extremely wealthy people like Rachel, to me it smells to the sky. The man had no actual need, as he personally is worth many,many millions. Why not just use his own cash? Oh, that's right, can't tell the Sanctified One Man, One Woman Lady.
Edwards campaigned using his own great marriage as an example of why God does not want gay people to get equal rights. "My daddy was a Deacon, traditional marriage is just a part of me, I can't help it. One man, one woman." He said that many times. Pointed at gay couples and said 'not as good as me'.
So you know, I'm not going to weep for a man who profited from slandering my family while cheating on his own and apparently getting funded to do so using money from others who also thought it was wise to use other people as a mask for John's own choice morality.
What he wished on me, I wish on him. I do not think he has any right to fair treatment, it is a tenant of my faith, it is just a part of me. My Daddy was a deacon, you know.
