Hard to know if we lost a worthy public man in Edwards. The scandal's been rumored for ages so he probably wasn't VP material but he might have been useful on public health, national insurance, etc.
The one that broke my heart though was Spitzer. He was headed for the WH on the back of those public protection cases and the NY governorship.
At least they porked females - far cry from nameless toilet homos our Rep glory hole boy was working.
Some items on the background of the Edwards fortune -
"He made his fortune suing pool companies because of a dangerous design that sucks children into the drains and they can't be pulled out by adults.
Ironically, the Bush's right hand man, James Baker lost his granddaughter that same way. Sucked into a pool drain and drowned. Her mom couldn't pull her out. If the GOP hadn't mocked his lawsuits and had brought legislation to fix this problem the Baker's granddaughter might be alive.
Many of the children are eviscerated. Their organs sucked out of their bodies.
The design flaw is cheap and easy to fix"
"Hennepin County Medical Center EMS paramedics treated and transported Abigail to Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, where she remains in serious condition and faces a series of surgeries. Doctors removed what was left of her small intestine this past Saturday.
Scott Taylor says his daughter will have to be fed intravenously for the rest of her life and receive all of the nutrients usually obtained from the intestine via IV fluids. She also will have to use a colostomy bag. Bennett reports doctors may insert a port, or connecting site, for a feeding tube.2 Taylor says that, if she ever eats again, she may only get 10% of her nutrition from food.2
"It never even crosses anybody's mind that potential at the bottom of that pool is enough force to literally disembowel a child, an adult," said Taylor. "We view it as a miracle that she's still with us."1
On Wednesday, July 5, she stunned her father by asking, "Am I going to be on the news?" When her parents asked why she was inquiring, Abigail said, "Because I want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else."1
Since 1990, 170 people, mostly children, have been caught in drains and 27 of them have died. At least three other children have suffered injuries similar to Abigail's since 1990.3 A similar case in North Carolina became one of the biggest legal victories of presidential candidate John Edwards when, in 1997, a young girl he represented who had been disemboweled by a defective swimming pool drain received a $25 million settlement.2 Note: See the special statistics section at the end of this article"
