John Edwards gets endorsed, too

...From The Onion. And it's an endorsement not for the faint of heart:

Mr. Edwards’ career has not been without its missteps. He has, like all of us at one time or another, made his share of mistakes. His opposition to a nationwide military draft, for instance.

He is a man who has learned from adversity, knowing, as any former attorney does, that the strongest individuals are forged through trials by fire.

Furthermore, Mr. Edwards conducted a protracted extramarital affair with a younger woman while his wife was dying of cancer, and we like that he did this. Our reasons for liking that he did this are tenfold:

What follows are 10 (satirical) reasons The Onion approves of Edwards' affair. And because I am the faint of heart, I'll let you click the link below if you want to see them for yourself.
