If John Edwards did something illegal (i.e., funnel campaign funds to his mistress), he deserves to be called on it. But in the meantime, I agree with Jane Smiley on HuffPo, who thinks that if we’re going to consider Edwards’ adultery, we also need to consider John McCain’s.

But going out and getting stupidly laid and then coming home and reconciling with the wife is not the same as going out, getting stupidly laid, then divorcing the crippled wife and marrying the pretty young thing (and taking out your marriage license before the divorce is final).

Lucky for McCain that the Enquirer wasn’t as dogged with Vicki Iseman as they were with Rielle Hunter?
