Because You Couldn't Figure That Out On Your Own

Because average Americans can't be trusted to form their own opinions, Us Weekly trotted out a polygraph expert to explain how John Edwards may not have been completely honest during last week's Nightline interview regarding his affair with Rielle Hunter. Gee, you think?

Jack Trimarco, a former FBI Unit Chief, reported that due to John's "attempts to dodge questions" and "sketchy body language," he has come to the conclusion that Edwards is a liar. Other great revelations include a phenomenon knows as a "mixed signal," which Jack says occurs when Edwards stated he would participate in a paternity test while simultaneously nodding his head "no." This is so enlightening. Also suspect is the fact that Edwards frequently repeated questions back to the interviewer before giving an answer: "When a person is getting ready to tell a lie, they repeat the question back because they need time to formulate an innocent response."

Wow, that was extremely educational. Thanks, Us!

Sheesh, Whitney. If it weren't for very important people who once worked at very important jobs explaining to us that it looks like someone is lying, I mean, how else would we know?

Can't watch the video STM but is it Hannity defending John McCain cheating by saying he was a POW? What the hell does that have anything to do with putting your ween in other women?

he always came off as shallow and insincere to me. like when he wrote some book about his country upbringing and he had written something like, "My mama was cooking breakfast in our two bedroom shack and I was on the floor playing with my toy string (or whatever poor toy he wanted to make up) and went on to write about his daddy working at the mill and he ws so proud in our shack of love. he probably hated this and hated being in poverty and who would not and i bet he might of been a bit snotty to his ''simple" parents and then used the the "poor" country . yet proud upbringing for his platform.

that's the one, kitten paw. hannity is such a deutschbag. he's literally yelling at alan colmes "HE WAS A POW!!" while colmes is making the point that how is this any different than mccain cheating on his wife. one dude says "well elizabeth edwards had breast cancer." colmes says "mccain's wife had just gotten into a car accident." hannity starts yelling from off camera "5 years of being beaten and tortured. how would you like it?" then someone said "well that was so long ago" and then likened it to Byrd being an ex-Klansmen!

um, WHAT!?

The truly sad part of the story is a baby was the product of these cheaters. This baby is not the 1st product of an affair.
Question is "who is the daddy?"

There was always something about him……
He was too pretty to be sincere. I think that's what it was. Sincere about anything.

No. 15 hms says:

The BigDeal about Edwards is that IF he got the nomination, this would have knocked the Democratic Party out of the running for possibly the next 8 years. He did this stuff AND he decided and actively pursued running for president. What he did, as far as I'm concerned, is tantamount to a Republican Plant running for the Democratic Nominee. Quite frankly, I'm surprised that the NeoCons haven't thought of that one yet. Haven't they learned anything from Russia during the Cold War?
Also, why hasn't Edwards thought of a vasectomy? Doesn't he have enough kids? Nothing is a bigger souvenir of an affair than a kid.

If John Edwards wins and becomes the Veep/VP, does this mean he will be servicing the country?

"Hello lady voters!"
