If you've been wondering about the relative quiet from the Republican camp about the news of former presidential candidate John Edwards's affair with Rielle Hunter, The Economist (no fan of Obama) reminds us:
Republicans shouldn’t crow over the scandal. After all their own presidential nominee, John McCain, was still married to his first wife when he took up with Cindy.
A Cindy that was also much, much, much richer, younger, and not in a car accident.
A moral tit for tat on this issue isn't one that the Republicans are not going to win. Of course in a political vacuum marital fidelity or lack thereof wouldn't be an issue. Unless they start legislating the bedroom, in which case the guns of hypocrisy fire away!
