Onto stage 2? of grief

After quickly digesting the news of the day about my boy Edwards (the ONLY candidate I've given money too), I moved onto Stage 2 of the grieving process: Anger.

Full-boar rage has set in. Rage at Edwards to knowingly ran for President, knowing he had fucked another woman, and SERIOUSLY putting the party in danger, perilous danger if in fact he had become the nominee.

Worse yet, he succeeded enough in this the primaries to have possibly determined the outcome of the race. He stayed in the race for quite a while drawing votes from Hillary (and some for Obama, but he largely stole from Hill's base) and allowing Obama to look formidable.

But, it not just this rage, it is also a larger rage. He has damaged the brand of the Democrat, JUST when we have been resurrected due to the complete ineptitude of the Dumbass Administration. This will continue to stain the Democratic party and make the people herein irrelevant.

Why? The MSM, who stayed away from this story, and who ran with the Vitter & Craig story and eventually dropped after the humor value was gone, will now turn to this story and they will hammer it for two reasons:

1. The liberal-leaning MSM has this sickness where they put the Democrat up on the pedestal and they continually do not hold both parties' members' to the same ethical standards because they believe and they have a silent image of what the Democrat should look like. And when the Democrat doesn't, they will punish him.

2. The MSM is hyper-sensitive to appear not liberal, thus they will go waaaay out of the norm to hammer this to assuage any attacks that may come their way bitching that they didn't jump on the story fast enough.

This story could have far-reaching damaging effects in the immediate future prospects of the party. Whereas Craig and Vitter was laughed off and laughed at (they have largely been able to skate away and maintain their balance), this story will be cited by the moralists in the Republican party to beat Democrats over the proverbial head with the bible-thumpers.

This hurts in far-reaching ways, who knows how long. I am DISAPPOINTED in Edwards, but now I am more mad that he possibly could have caused such damage in the future.
