And by the way
If Edwards were not a Democrat, the rumors of his affair would have been plastered all over newspapers and cable television since 2007 at least. I suppose respect for Elizabeth Edwards informs some of the press's reluctance to cover this, but far less important public figures have had their flaws and "errors in judgment" trumpeted loud and wide. In this day and age, in the post-internet age of ubiquitous curiosity and camera phones, it is impossible to hide. But if media have agendas, the playing field becomes muddy and bumpy.
