Breaking News: Politician Has Double Standard

The political world is shaken to its core as a once prominent politician seemingly has a double standard.

John Edwards (D-NC), who recently admitted to having his own extramarital affair, commenting on the Clinton-Lewinsky affair in 1999, “I think this President has shown a remarkable disrespect for his office, for the moral dimensions of leadership, for his friends, for his wife, for his precious daughter... It is breathtaking to me the level to which that disrespect has risen.”

Apparently not breathtaking enough. Larry Craig (R-ID) could not be reached for comment.

America is aghast. Carl Eisenrod, a rider on the Market-Frankford El in Philadelphia comments, “I thought that guy was Tom Cruise?”

Marcus Jones a steelworker from Middletown Ohio thinks “the other woman” is attractive but not “cheat-on-your-wife hot.”

Mary Fitzpatrick a bartender in Boston paints an even grimmer picture, “What’s the next foot to drop, we’ll find out a politician let campaign contributions influence their votes… could you imagine.” Now that’s a scary thought.
