The Far-Reaching Implications of This John Edwards Sex Tape

Here I go again getting all political. Apologies, but sometimes somebody has to step up, yell "bullshit!" and blow the whistle. And sometimes that somebody has to be el numero ME.

This John Edwards sex tape sounds like a plant.

Edwards knows the American psyche, and he's playing it like a pinball machine. He figures that once his massive penis is right there in the public eye (ow!), people will be forced to take him seriously, regardless of all the scandal and shame. You can't shame the big one.

Frankly, I don't see how this strategy can possibly fail. It's the one thing that trumps everything else. The one thing Quayle didn't have.

Edwards is playing the schlong card big-time, and heaven help the rest of the field in 2012. I see him forcing a showdown, switching to Independent. The only hope the Big 2 will have is if they can pony up the goods for public inspection.

I don't know what Obama's packing, but if indications are faint, Barack might need to cede the field to Hillary for the good of the party.
