burymyheart@jerkingknee:

Are you seriously suggesting that it would have been anything even faintly resembling appropriate or respectful to his wife and his family for Edwards to have blurted out at a campaign event that he'd had an affair?

Yeah, it does seem a little stupid to imply that he had to answer that way. Can you imagine the Trailhead entry if the exchange had gone something like this?

MODERATOR: What's your biggest sin?

EDWARDS: Well, I humped my campaign videographer. Also, sometimes I sneak out of bed and eat cookies when Elizabeth thinks I'm sleeping!
