In his lengthy and supposedly final apologia pro vita John Edwards ^[1], the former Senator admits his affair with Rieille Hunter but denies he is the father of her child.  Note the language from lawyer Edwards: “I am and have been willing to take any test necessary to establish the fact that I am not the father of any baby, and I am truly hopeful that a test will be done so this fact can be definitively established.”

Como se dice?  Why “hopeful”?  Samples of the Senator’s and the child’s DNA are readily available.   Am I missing something? Hot Air ^[2] says Edwards is ready to take a paternity test.  Given this language, I’m not so sure.

MEANWHILE: They let the lunatics out of the asylum ^[3]. (via Deceiver.com ^[4])

QUERY: What happens to those people still driving around with “Kerry/Edwards” bumper stickers on their cars? [I've seen a lot of them in your neighborhood.-ed. Yeah, they've been on so long I don't know if they'll come off.]
