Thanks for the link! We've been busy through the evening and haven't watched the whole thing straight through, just bits and pieces, so we've missed a lot of the games.
But lemme tellya something... what I DID see, the Chinese men gymnasts, some Americans too, and Michael Phelps - hell, EVERYBODY'S gonna be talking about the Olympics for TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT. NOBODY'S gonna give a crap about ANYTHING but the Olympics. All those beautiful, tight, fit young bodies and charming, sweet, wrinkle-free faces, bikinis on the sand, tight young butts, perfect posture, rippling biceps, gorgeous long curvy legs, FUCK IT! Let's tie our bibs on and watch!
Which means...
NOBODY's gonna give a rat's ass about John Edwards. Few people except the hard-cores will care about politics, PERIOD. It's been such a pounding primary season bleeding directly into general election campaigning, that I think people are just TIRED of it. The whole thing. Just Fuck It. Leave me ALONE! ENOUGH already! I think that's the collective sentiment of most of America at the moment - they're probably grateful for some respite from it all, especially as john mcsame has gotten nastier and meaner and crankier.
By the time the Olympics are over, most people will be bored with the John Edwards story. It'll be "so yesterday." Been-there/Done-that. That's Old News. It'll be an "oh, THAT" complete with an exasperated sigh or rolling eyeballs or both. Just tiresome and tedious and trivial and Enough-Already. Which can ONLY be good for us Dems.
If it had to happen, when better than the afternoon of the Opening Ceremonies of the two-week-long Summer Olympics - and a Friday afternoon at that? The VERY BEST TIME EVER to have to cough up a hairball in public like John Edwards just did. Nobody's gonna give a shit, even after things go back to politics with the conventions and all. It'll be so over. So old news by then. And he's not even the nominee, so who cares? There'll be SO MUCH ELSE to cover that's brand new and hot and glitzy with all the big-name Dems there and the noise and the excitement and the Obama speech for all its many reasons. John Edwards will be a small footnote by then, if indeed he hasn't achieved that status already.
Somebody here said we dodged a bullet. I would say - AND HOW!!!!!!
