My first thought was, "Wow. Alex must be really good at self-gratification."

Also, I do admire the timing of the admission.

It's a Friday.
The Olympics start today.
Georgia invades Russia, or vice versa.
It's in August when reporters go on vacation anyway.

Of course, he should have waited until 7:30 for the NBC coverage to begin, but nobody's perfect.

Then again... it's only "news" for the short period of time between the announcement and the start of the Olympics. If he'd waited till after 7:30, it would have been tomorrow's "new" news. So maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. Gets reported today when people don't care, and is shortly trumped by discussion of how good/bad/amazing/ridiculous the opening ceremonies were. In other words, by coming before the ceremonies, the ceremonies render it old news very quickly.

Yeah it's pretty dead news-wise this week if it's not related to the Games.

One reason why Obama decided to take his vacation now.

...although my friends in Hawaii tell me it's just a complete madhouse there. Even on "vacation" he's still scheduling public events. People just absolutely adore him there, since he's their hometown son.

He's an ass. But I can't imagine what it would be like to have people throwing themselves at me, and whether I could resist even under the circusmstances of great risk.

Edwards has agreed to a paternity test, though maybe it has already been agreed that Reille won't.

The guy who has claimed to be the father was an Edwards staffer. So, if true, that would suggest that he was sharing his women with his homies.

It all does raise the question, if he isn't the father, of why he would visit in the middle of the night at a hotel the woman he has publicly said was not a "personal relation" and a child he'd emphatically said was not his. All while in the middle of trying to broker a power deal for himself with Obama.

If not the father that would appear to probably even more stupid than the original affair.

Hey, I are smrt!

Of course there is no way to know that it was pre-arranged. And it can be viewed as her wanting to keep alive the possibility that Edwards is the father.

But I'm going to call this one a hit and open a palm-reading storefront. Sylvia Browne earns millions from less.

I don't beleive a word Edwards says. Even though he may not be the father, I've always disliked him, and dislike him even more now.

I agree on McCain, MBC. Only difference is the length of time ago it was. Though I don't know if he had an affair or just divorced his wife. Either is lame and despicable. (not that I am saying divorce in and of itself is despicable, but his reasons were)

Keep in mind this is what I read from his ex-wife's Wikipedia page. Basically, the ex was very loyal to him during his captivity, but she had a life-threatening car accident that left the former swimsuit model no longer physically attractive (according to the entry, she'd gained weight). McCain finally came home but instead of having a young, swimsuit model of a wife, he had an older dumpy woman for a wife... so he proceeded to have numerous affairs.

They stayed married throughout it all, but then when McCain started dating Cindy (read: young, pretty, blond, and independently wealthy), he pressured his first wife into a divorce, which she reluctantly agreed to.

McCain's affair was the reason he divorced his wife (not because she found out but because he decided he wanted to marry Cindy).
