John Edwards enhances his resume

While he was out campaigning to be the country's next president, John Edwards and his family knew he had cheated on his wife.

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

...

Edwards said he told his wife, Elizabeth, and others in his family about the affair in 2006.

Edwards made a point of telling Woodruff that his wife's cancer was in remission when he began the affair with Hunter. Elizabeth Edwards has since been diagnosed with an incurable form of the disease.

When the National Enquirer first reported the alleged Edwards-Hunter affair last October 11, Edwards, his campaign staff and Hunter vociferously denounced the report.

"The story is false, it's completely untrue, it's ridiculous," Edwards told reporters then.

He repeated his denials just two weeks ago.

Edwards today admitted the National Enquirer was correct when it reported he had visited Hunter at the Beverly Hills Hilton last month.

[emphasis mine]

Did you catch that remark about when the affair began? He wanted to make sure that everyone knew that his wife's cancer was in remission when he started cheating on her.

Looks like the other two need to step aside. John Edwards is now the only Defeat-ocrat that is fully qualified to be the nominee of his party.
