*GASP!* John Edwards, how dare you!

I believed in you, sir. I believed in you, and you rip my heart out like this? You went on television and *shudder* lied to the American people? How dare you. How dare you!

/sarcasm

I mean, no one’s really surprised by this, right? We all read the awesome excerpt from Game Change, didn’t we? Look: John Edwards is a scumbag who cheated on his dying wife and then had the audacity to a.) use said dying wife as a campaign prop, and b.) go on television and lie about being the father of his child all so he could further his already-shattered political goals. I mean, the dude didn’t even have a chance at the presidency by the time most of this stuff was leaking out: He was doing it all to be Attorney General! Attorney General!!

As Tom Daschle said when he was informed that Edwards was no longer asking for the VP slot but to be AG, “This is ridiculous. It’s going to be ambassador to Zimbabwe next.”

Edwards wishes.
