He’s Back

What’s the definition of penance in modern American politics? We now know exactly. It’s three months without speaking into a TV camera.



Three months ago, John Edwards confessed to an affair with a blonde aide, did one TV interview, then announced he’d said all he had to say about that and pulled up the drawbridge and went into seclusion on his Chapel Hill estate with its own indoor basketball court.



Now, a week after the election, he’s back. Edwards just ended his penance by speaking at the University of Indiana for a $35,000 fee. So much for sackcloth and ashes.
