Edwards Issues Statement

I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established.

Drew asks, "What the hell does 'hopeful' mean?" If he wants a test, he can have it. Sounds to me like a set-up for Andrew Young to step in and say, "No, as the baby's father, I forbid that," and then Edwards says, "See? I tried!"

Here's that statement.

Edwards also confessed,

In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic... I think I was drawn to Rielle Hunter due to her uncanny resemblance to actor Lee Marvin. Long have I fantasized about being a wounded Franko, held lovingly in Major Reisman's powerful arms.

Okay, I made up all the Lee Marvin stuff up there. But the "narcissistic" stuff is accurate.

Barack Bleed-Through? Edwards' confession that narcissism, egotism, and "specialness" led him to scandal and disgrace can't help Barack Obama... We're just right now in the middle of a national discussion as to whether he's uppity similarly arrogant, narcissistic, egotistical, self-absorbed, and quite frankly Messianic.

It might not mean much, but for all those people saying "So what if he's uppity narcissistic?," well, John Edwards is your answer. That's why it matters.
