John Edwards is a Mamzer

This is one of those paradigm shifting moments. Before the revelation that John Edwards had an affair in 2006, we were able to imagine him as a possible president because he was a charismatic Southern democrat with demonstrable talent in convincing people to do things they wouldn't ordinarily do. Now that we see he committed adultery on his 'cancer-in-remission' wife ONLY TWO YEARS AGO, we see that he is in fact a slimeball with very little on the plus side to offset the massive flaw in character and - most importantly - judgement.

His career in politics is over. His career elsewhere as well, we can only hope.

What what, are you insane? Non members of the faith don't have to worry about shomer shabbes wedding witnesses and haredi bet din approval that his parents weren't attached to other spouses at the time of his birth. He would have no problem being approved for conversion now.

Not that I'm suggesting it. The desire to join up must come from within.

Good point. I sit corrected.
