Isn’t it enough that Elizabeth has had to live with the Rielle Hunter pain? So now we have the Politico story. Today Ben Smith made headlines with his tale of Andrew Young saying: “Young has fleetingly emerged from the wreckage of Edwards’s political career as a character from central casting. First he was the fall guy, and now he’s the sellout, peddling his story in a tell-all book.
“But the real story of Young is about the passions of politics and the classic political triangle of the candidate, his wife and the sometimes sycophantic aide. The consuming devotion that politicians command from a small handful of loyalists is familiar — and not just in presidential campaigns.” Sex, scorn and videotape.
[See link at the end for my earlier report on the alleged sex tape.]
“Here is what they are getting at: Andrew Young was gay for John Edwards. Oh, god, he was so, so gay for John Edwards. Wow! Like, from the first paragraph onward:” The Ballad of John Edwards and Andrew Young – John Edwards – Gawker
The company one keeps
There is something so distasteful about the way this entire John Edwards affair was made public that the more we hear of Andrew Young, the more we shake our heads.
My grandmother always said that you can tell a person’s character by the company he keeps. John Edwards seems to have a tawdry side. Neither his wife, nor his children should be subjected to anymore scandal or pain.
Just as John Edwards was guilty of public deceit and adultery, Andrew Young is guilty of public deceit and betrayal. In some circles, he might be called Judas.
