By now, everybody knows that John Edwards cheated on his wife Elizabeth. And even more people have opinions about it.

But, have you seen this newly-turned-up footage of Edwards being interviewed on his infidelity on ABC?

Kinda makes him a little more sympathetic, doesn't it?

Say what you will about John McCain: as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam he faced a greater test than most of us — in our relatively comfy civilian lives — will ever have to face. He survived isolation, torture, and more than five years without seeing his home or family.

And as a true war hero, he will never, ever cheapen this experience by using it as some sort of political trump card when he's confronted with questions he doesn't like…

When Elizabeth Edwards, wife of former Senator John Edwards, rebuked McCain's medical-care proposal and noted that he'd always enjoyed government health benefits, McCain responded that he knows what it's like to get inadequate care — "from another government."

Okay, so a President McCain would not model his health care policy on that of the North Vietnamese four decades ago. That's good, I guess.

Under fire as a senator for questionable dealings with an Arizona friend and supporter during the savings-and-loan scandal, McCain fumed: "Even the Vietnamese didn't question my ethics."

True. But then, they weren't in danger of having him run their country.

This morning Elizabeth Edwards went on Good Morning America to announce that she favors Hillary Clinton's health care plan over Barack Obama's, but that absolutely doesn't mean she's endorsing Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama.

It especially doesn't mean that her husband, Handsome John Edwards, is favoring, backing, supporting or endorsing Hillary Clinton. Or Barack Obama…

Edwards said her husband had been in close contact with Clinton's and Obama's campaigns, but was offering "perspective" more than an endorsement.

Great. Now, in addition to a string of sensationalized celebrity endorsements, we can look forward to several more months of sensationalized celebrity "perspectives" on this campaign.

I'm really looking forward to Heidi Montag's "perspective" on John McCain's foreign policy strategy. I bet it goes something like this: "OMG!!"

• Michigan oils up for state primary super orgy.

• Rush Limbaugh uses amazing power of awesome humorousness to compare one black person to another black person.
• Number of missing White House emails now out-numbers residents of South Carolina.
• Elizabeth Edwards won't go changing to try and please you — she never let you down before. Mmmmmm hmmmmm.
• Giuliani and Thompson in good old fashioned gun fight.

With the Emmy nominations now in, we got to thinking — don't the candidates deserve nominations, too? So, we got ourselves a red carpet (actually, it's more of an accent rug), and did some nominating of our own. Here's a breakdown of our nominees for the Candidate Emmy Awards, or Candies…

Best Actor

Close to $2 million in debt and still free-falling in the polls, John McCain gets a nod for "The Biggest Loser." He squares off against Barack Obama of "30 (Ba)Rock" and Sam Brownback for his portrayal of "The God Whisperer." Surprise nomination: New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg, for "Extreme Makeover: Political Party Edition."

Best Actress

The nominees are Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Hillary Clinton. Notably missing: Elizabeth Edwards for her star turn in "Desperate Housewives."

Best Comedy
The nominees are Chris Dodd's eyebrows, the entire Mike Gravel campaign, and Dennis Kucinich's recent bout with food-poisoning. (He's a vegan. That's hilarious.)

Outstanding Mini-Series

Garnering its first nomination is "According to Mitt," the eleven-part special in which Mitt Romney clarified everything from what he meant when he called himself a hunter to why his staffers like to impersonate cops. His stiffest competition comes from "CSI: Giuliani," a gritty, real-life investigation into the illicit goings-on in various Rudy Giuliani campaign offices.

Of course, in a year that saw the finales of both "The Gilmore Girls" and Jim Gilmore, the 2007 Candies are not without their fair share of snubs. John Edwards (Best Supporting Actor, 2004) received only one nomination, in the category of Outstanding Hair and Makeup. Conspicuously absent from the list: Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee, Bill Richardson, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo. Don't look for them to be nominated for anything any time soon.

Did we miss anyone who deserves a Candie this year? Post your own nominations!

• Candidate refuses to discuss candidacy.

• We need to fight vaporized water over there so we don't have to fight it here.
• Will Ann Romney's "delicate balance" trump Elizabeth Edward's "cancer"?
• Awwww… Look at Joe Biden, he thinks he's viable.
• Ron Paul wins coveted Grand Wizard endorsement.
