  • Swallowing John Edward's Blarney

    The truth is so right there, however, due to his outrageous lies that are defended by his wife, the truth becomes murky; Slate, has become the clearinghouse of truth.

  • Re: Wrong question, Mr. Kaus

  • If he were a presidential candidate, this would be valid

    If he runs again for the Senate, it will be, too. It speaks to his values, and our view of them. Can we accept a senator who cheats on his dying wife? To provide a UK parallel: Nigella Lawson, a British TV chef and daughter of a former head of the Treasury, lost her husband, the journalist John Diamond, to cancer in 2001. It had been diagnosed ...
