High-res “There is no question that I’ve done wrong… And I will regret for the rest of my life, the pain and the harm that I have caused others. But I did not break the law, and I never, ever thought I was breaking the law.” - John Edwards

“

He went from being a guy who, everybody who knew him described as being one of the genuinely nicest, most tethered to reality people that they had ever met in American politics, to being an egomaniacal kind of caricature of a deluded politician.

And you get to a place in this campaign where the delusion got to be so great—and it‘s one of the things we reported in the book that most astonished Mark Halperin and I when we wrote the book, was that in the Spring of 2008, even after he was out of the race, even after his child with Rielle Hunter was in the world, he still believed he could be on the ticket with Barack Obama or be Barack Obama‘s attorney general.

I‘ll tell you, if that delusion continues to keep him gripped, he might end up in jail if he pursues this case, if he‘s that deluded still.

Now tomorrow is the first day of spring and this is the time of year when we’re reminded that love is like a Toyota. It can’t be stopped.

And if you don’t believe me, consider that there is now a video of John Edwards performing oral sex on Rheal Hunter while she was six months pregnant. Because who doesn’t love watching a politician kiss a baby?
