The best thing to come out of this crap fest. While everyone is watching, John got it out there for all the looky loos to hear and wonder about.
The full version of Bob Woodruff's interview with John Edwards just aired on ABC, figuring Edwards alternately penitent, defensive, and dismissive of the tabloid reports that unearthed his affair.
He also, in explaining his view that his dalliance could remain private, cited Republican John McCain's reported affair at the end of his first marriage almost three decades ago.
"What I was thining was this was something that was personal to my own family," Edwards said, citing other public figures having survived extramarital affairs. He recalled, he said, having heard "John mccain talk about the mistakes that he’s made in his past with respect to his first marriage."
Greg has some more instances of people bringing up McCain's affair now here.
**Video is the only piece of the interview I can find so far.
