“I think this President has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter. It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen.”
– John Edwards, quoted by the Raleigh News & Observer in 1999, on Bill Clinton.
As president, i doubt you ever see your wife, especially a power wife like hillary. It seems to me that it is unrealistic to think that presidents don’t need to get laid. One of the most stressful jobs, needs a release valve.
Personally, my reaction to the BJ was ‘good for him, now he wont nuke anyone.’
I completely agree, and have no issue with someone needing a blowjob. In fact, you’re completely correct: perhaps if presidents were getting really satisfying sex more often, there’d probably be a lot less war. I know I have no desire to go invade another country after a healthy romp.
My point here was simply the extremity of Edward’s hypocrisy. Fair point, this statement was made years before the affair, but I think it’s nicely ironic in any case.
