John Edwards: ‘I Have Been Stripped Bare’

John Edwards: ‘I Have Been Stripped Bare’
John Edwards released a statement after admitting to cheating on his cancer-ridden wife back in 2006. You can read the entire transcript here, but most of it says what you’d expect: It was only for a short time and he’s not the father of any baby — and he’s willing to take the tests to prove it. He goes on:

It is inadequate to say to the people who believed in me that I am sorry, as it is inadequate to say to the people who love me that I am sorry. In the course of several campaigns, I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narcissistic. If you want to beat me up feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself. I have been stripped bare and will now work with everything I have to help my family and others who need my help.

It’s a good thing he really had no chance against Barack or Hillary, or else the Democratic party would really be in trouble.
