John Edwards

You know after thinking about my main man Johnny boy for a little while I've come to a conclusion Its not that he cheated on his cancer stricken wife and had a baby with another woman. His mistress. Or that he publicly denied it. Or that he was willing to become president knowing it might all be exposed and that he might be impeached for it.

Those are all bad, really bad, but I thought about something else. If you watched Edwards denials you will notice that he talked with a sincerity that is exactly of the same style as his public political pronouncements. How frightening is that?

Normal people give off pretty big hints that they just might be lying from their style of speech. Conversely when they are definitely telling the truth we can usually sense it in their delivery. But Edwards has shown that he, and very likely most politicians, have a talent for lying that rivals most movie stars. Thus we now know that not only WILL poloticians lie if they need to, but also that we can’t trust our usual instincts when they speak about anything. But then again, most people don't trust the government anyways.
