The Edwards and Palin stories both underscore the quirk in our electoral system through which vice presidents are nominated.
Last week's headline was quite salacious. "Gov. With Latina Quite Curvaceous" Guess he found someplace finer than his home state of South Carolina.
When bullsh**ters see red, their common sense is dead. What is it that Mark Sanford, Bill Clinton, John Edwards, Elliott Spitzer AND Bernie Madoff ha...
Lashing out at critics who have called for his resignation, an unrepentant Gov. Mark Sanford released a statement today indicating that he might be "too sexy" for his critics to handle.
Republicans' private embraces are often in complete contradistinction with their own oft-trumpeted, Biblically-mandated "moral" guidelines for the rest of us.
Isn't it time we grew up and stopped accusing others of sexual "wrongdoing" to cover our own misguided behavior?
Edwards, Spitzer nor Sanford belong in the same sports metaphor with The Libido From Little Rock. Bill Clinton scaled Mount Narcissus and planted his flag.
Mr. Edwards said he was "undecided" as to what to do about the many children who sent him cards today, but indicated that he was in talks with Madonna.
Here's my look at this wild week: An index of people, places, things and why you should care about them.
Both the Edwardses and the Gosselins seem to be trapped inside media magnified marriages that few of us can possibly understand.
Edwards can't have it both ways -- insisting that she won't sit back as the passive political wife and disappear, while cashing in on her family's personal crisis.
Other cast members include George W. Bush, former Idaho Senator Larry Craig, former vice presidential nominee John Edwards, talk show host Michael Savage, political blogger Andrew Sullivan and reality star Kate Gosselin.
Edwards was right then, and he'd be right now. Leveling the playing field will yield a more just America, and a more economically and socially dynamic America, as well.
It's important to create a viable financial model for online news delivery so journalists who research and report the real stories, stories that impact our lives, can continue their work and be compensated for it.
What is it about David Gregory that makes me feel that I would rather not meet the press with him every Sunday?
Memo to America: Grow. Up. Have you forgotten the lesson of Lewinsky so soon?
Today, I received the note from Senator Bob Menendez promising Obama-time for a select few picked from those who kick in five bucks to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
"Life isn't about waiting for the storms to pass, it's about learning to dance ...
Elizabeth is particularly painful to watch, especially for anyone who knows anything at all about the facts and timeline of this story. She's lying but at this point I just pity her.
Edwards, I believe, is seeking something more profound than mere vengeance. It's about who owns her story, and through that narrative, herself.
Had Elizabeth told her husband to drop out of the race after he confessed to a single night of infidelity, the race for the nomination would have been from the start between Obama and Hillary.

As much butt kissing is done to the obamas who don't deserve it, the Palin family is likewise being sliced and diced.
Why don't you hone in on the obamas and their shortcomings as vociferously as you do the Palins?
One example that everyone can see is on YOU TUBE.
The greeting mr. obama gave the Queen of England was very cordial and gentlemanly however, the greeting (excuse me BOW) he extended to the King of Saudi Arabia (and he literally glowed) and makes me even more suspicious of where his loyalties really lie.
Say what you will about Sarah. She is adamantly for America and Americans!
That was GREAT!!
If I was her and read that, I guess I would quit too.
Well said.
And as you say, you only scratched the surface of the Palin Hypocrisy.
Remember her condescending chastisement of Hillary for a comment about media bias?
Hey Shannyn, this top ten list is fantastic. I wish Sarah Palin would just disappear into obscurity, and Letterman should have never apologized, if you're going to include your daughter choosing to be pro-life to win yourself some votes, then the isue should be fair game. Anyone can post their own list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
Derogatory remarks and crude jokes directed at young women are "fair game", when a woman makes a stand for her convictions and beliefs. Okay then...
She needed to be in the news again. It is a phobia.
