(114,904 posts)14. I will never get over people falling for his bullshit to begin with
and now it's even more unfathomable to me.
First of all, he was already done in politics long before the indictment. Long before.
This is a man who actually had the gall to say that he went to work for a very slimy hedge fund "to learn about poverty". I mean wtf?
This is a man who preached about the environment but was very gung ho on Yucca while in the Senate and who not only built a monstrosity of a house while preaching at others but clear cut the land.
This is a man who when he knew he was done, shut down the scholarship and poverty programs he's set up- with the exception of the UNC center which he's had nothing to do with for years.
There's a sucker born every minute.

If it was a pose (and I doubt it knowing his history), it will not be a pose in the future.

If Edwards could bottle that charm, the Democrats should buy it by the case.

Actually, Job did sin according to the story. His sin was pride -- arrogance.
