DUCK AND RUN: “On Wednesday, Edwards apparently ducked out a side area used by the kitchen staff in the fourth-floor ballroom of Washington’s historic Hotel Monaco. Edwards emerged from a lower-level handicap ramp near the rear of the hotel with two men. When approached by a Charlotte Observer reporter, Edwards said, ‘Can’t do it now, I’m sorry’ and quickly walked past.” [News-Observer]

    Who cares?

    I didn’t know he was handicapped.

  4. At first I read that as “dick and run.”

  5. 4tehlulz says at 4:35 pm, July 31st, 2008

    OK OK, I was just reacting to the media overreacting to one simple duck out the side door of a hotel.

    With two men.

    And then got into a car with other men.

    Perfectly innocent and healthy.

    “Twisted little Caligula”, oh SNAP Ken!

    Is he invoking the holy spirit in that photo?
    I miss Gangsta John Edwards from two weeks ago.

    I don’t get what the big deal is. The guys nailing some trashy middle-aged lady, so what. I mean shit, his wife DOES have cancer. What’s a handsome guy supposed to do? It’s not like he’s wearing diapers or sucking off strangers in the airport bathroom.

  9. 4tehlulz says at 4:39 pm, July 31st, 2008

    KevoTron: True. It worked for Newt Gingrich.

    I once shared a mens room with the former senator from NC. He stood right next to me at the urinal in the Waldorf in NYC in 2005. Now, if only I could remember what I did with that dixie cup full of his urine.

    magic titty: Based on his face, I assumed there was a kneeling choir boy cropped out of the photo

  13. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:43 pm, July 31st, 2008

    KevoTron: That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.

    magic titty: Sneezing.

  15. KevoTron says at 4:46 pm, July 31st, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Oh fine Shorts! Okay I’m a pussy… I admit it! That image just reminded me of the games we used to play with the colored boy down the street when we were kids. We called it “coloreds and their superiors” and it ended badly when I got a hold of my Dad’s truck keys and a set of tire chains.

    Ugh.. I’m going to take a shower now you trollopy cunting trollop of a cunt you!

  16. Why does John Edwards hate talking about his sex life?

  17. Or maybe “Can’t do it now” is him talking about his sex life. Hmmm…

  18. he is so inexperienced. the first thing to say is “i wazn’t there” then if they prove something else, “it wazn’t me”, then you can let the lies go on for months unless a blue stained dress, a little monkey that looks like you appears or even better (by my standards) some full on bukakke pix. Oh yeah…man that swimsuit model is now eye level…gotta go

  19. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 4:55 pm, July 31st, 2008

    So this is how the main scream media will now play every Edwards spotting?

    Great, I’m sure Mickey Kaus is gonna blow two goats tonight to celebrate.

  20. BillyClubb says at 4:55 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Edwards says “leave me alone” and the mainstream press reply “O.K.”.

    There is no question why people would rather get their news from “The Daily Show”, or even the National Enquirer.

  22. Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin says at 4:56 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Been a while since the last Liz Phair sighting on Wonkette…

  23. Ken Layne: Ewww. What’s that quote? Some mental images once seen cannot be unseen? or should I go with the daily theme:

    That mental image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.

  24. It’s because he’s boring! Edwards is boring. It’s all that damned time he spent with Kerry on the campaign trail in 2004. The Massive Boring rubbed off on him. If they’d only resurrect the comedy team of Kerry and Edwards, they could make a fortune by sending insomniacs to sleep by a personal visit.

  25. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 5:21 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I had always counted Edwards as a slick gay closet-dweller and expected that his scandal would be about some tawdry little tart - like Terry from “Reno 911″ or Jeff Gannon. Funny, Edwards doesn’t look str8……

  26. Dave J. says at 5:25 pm, July 31st, 2008

    I’m kind of sad about all this. Odds that he actually did knock up the crazy hippie lady are now looking pretty good.

  27. Rev. Juan MessyCan says at 5:36 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Dave J.: At least he didn’t leave an altarboy/page bound and gagged in a piss-soaked wetsuit like he would’ve if he were Republiqueer.

  28. pdiddycornchips says at 5:37 pm, July 31st, 2008

    Dave J.:

    I’m not so sure. If he did it, why not get the truth out there now? What’s up with the guy who’s named as the father on the birth certificate? I got friends but there’s no way any of them would agree to pose as the father of my out of wedlock kid. The whole sorrid affair is bound to come out sooner or later, why make it harder on yourself, your family and your sick wife?

  29. thefrontpage says at 5:46 pm, July 31st, 2008

    But did Edwards ever hang out with Eliot Spitzer in D.C. or Larry Craig in Minnesota? If yes, then the story’s interesting.

  30. Mr. Herpes says at 5:55 pm, July 31st, 2008

    The prayer balloon for this picture actually reads: “Dear infant baby Jesus, make these fucking reporters and photographers go away because if I lose my speaking fees over some goddam piece of ass, then I am so fucked I won’t be able to even get a job passing out shopping carts at Wal-mart. And don’t let my dying wife take what little money I have left in divorce court. Amen.”

  31. Dave J. says at 7:45 pm, July 31st, 2008

    pdiddycornchips: On the other hand, if he didn’t do it, this should be the easiest story in the world to knock down. Seriously, DNA test, boom, it’s done. The other guy admitted it, so why not do the test. Make a big stink about it. Shit, he’s a lawyer, threaten to sue. Should be easy.

    And, you’ve got friends but none of them would agree to take the fall for your out-of-wedlock kid, but that might change if you were rich, powerful, their boss, and could probably get them all kinds of cush DC jobs in the next year.

  32. Dave J.: This is all so Primary Colors. I’m so glad Edwards lost right about now.

  33. shortsshortsshorts says at 9:38 pm, July 31st, 2008

    HAH it says “Duck and Run!”

    That’s Cindy’s new sport. You rape the duck, and then you run!
    It’s all the craze around here.

    Maybe he had to go the bathroom?
