Fly Fishing

Another one caught by his fly. I have not written about the latest sex scandal involving a Democrat until today, when John Edwards confessed - under duress - that he had, indeed, had an affair with a woman his campaign paid a lot of money to. Money given by his ardent supporters. Oh, Edwards still denies he is the father of Lisa Druck's baby, but his word isn't exactly coined gold at the moment.

John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today.

In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he loved only his wife, Elizabeth.

Not exactly a great year for Democratic party politicians. Detroit's mayor, New York's governor and the left's early favorite for the Presidency. All caught by the same fly, so to speak.
