John Edwards has officially announced that his radioactive self will not be setting foot in the Mile High City for next week's Democratic Convention.
That collective sigh you just heard was the sound of disappointment of our city's (relatively few, compared to New York and Los Angeles) 40-year old blonde cokeheads that were holding out hope for an Edwards visit.
If you're interested in the details of Edwards cheating on his cancer-stricken wife with legendary '80s NYC party girl Rielle Hunter (literary brat-packers Jay Mcinerney and Bret Easton Ellis both based characters on her), then check out this hilarious Newsweek profile on Hunter.
Also, here's a podcast of Don Imus talking with political analyst Craig Crawford about the Edwards story. Imus really loses it here, it's priceless. My favorite moment is when Imus refers to Newt Gingrich (who also cheated on his cancer-stricken wife) as a "fat bastard."
I have to confess, even though I never bought Edwards as a presidential candidate, I truly thought that he would make a great Attorney General.
Between Edwards and Elliot Spitzer, what is it with highly skilled lawyers that are itching to take on corporate America? Why do they have to be so stupid when it comes to women? Uggghh.

the picture is priceless
Please watch your grammar. When you speak (or write) of people, you say "who" -- not "that". You know better than you are doing.
"What is it with highly skilled lawyers that are itching to take on corporate America?"
They need the money.
"You know better than you are doing."
i don't think that sentence has ever been spoken before.
