John Edwards Has Three Percent Approval
Today begin's the trial of former Sen. John Edwards, and — believe it or not — his favorability is waaaay down. Good thing somebody spent the time and money to get those numbers…The CBS/NYT poll reveals that only 3 percent of those polled hold a favorable view of Edwards, who has been charged with misusing campaign funds. That is down from 30 percent in 2007 when he was running for the Democratic nomination, which is also the last time the question was asked among registered voters.
Since 2007, Edwards' unfavorable ratings have risen eleven points, from 30 percent to 41 percent today. However, half of those polled are undecided or don't have an opinion of Edwards.
Women, however, especially dislike Edwards, with just 2 percent holding a favorable view of him compared to 45 percent who view him unfavorably.
Just think. In some alternate reality out there in the multiverse, John Edwards is the Vice President of the United States during the Kerry Administration right now.
Can you even imagine how bad that's guy's approval rating is?

John Edwards Named in New York Prostitution Investigation
John Edwards continues to retroactively solidify his place in history as the worst, most reckless presidential candidate of his generation…A call girl working for alleged "Millionaire Madam" Anna Gristina told investigators she was paid to have sex with former U.S. Sen. John Edwards when he was in New York raising money for his failed presidential bid, DNAinfo has learned…
According to "On The Inside" sources, Edwards allegedly hooked up with one of Gristina’s high-end hookers in 2007 when the dashing pol from North Carolina brought his then high-flying presidential campaign to the Big Apple.
"Hmmmm… That was a good day of national campaigning for the most important job on the planet in front of three-thousand television cameras. Time to relax with a little illegally-bought extra-marital sex with a person who will certainly never recognize my face." – John Edwards, five years ago, in effect
"Most of the women don’t have any idea about the identities of the men they sleep with," a source explained. "How would they know a money man from Wall Street or the face of a lawyer or banker who shows up? But the face of the national politician?" the source rhetorically asked. "She knew."
"Oh, that's right! People have eyes!" – John Edwards, now, probably

From the Pork Barrel: Smile!
* Some people are wondering why John Edwards is smiling in these mug shots that were just released. I have a feeling he thinks he posing for a coin.
* You know, it's definitely kind of gross that Rep. Anthony Weiner asked that porn star to lie about their relationship. But, you know, I'll bet that wasn't the grossest thing he asked her to do.
* Good news everybody! Nancy Pelosi has successfully grown wealth in the U.S. by 62 percent. For herself at any rate.
* I used to think that Michele Bachmann was a crazy lady with no shot at winning the presidency. Now I think she's a crazy lady with no chance at winning the presidency, but that she's fun to read about.
