Citing medical condition, Edwards seeks delay in trial |
2011-12-22 |
![]() Former Democratic presidential contender John Edwards asked Thursday for a two-month delay in his trial on alleged campaign finance violations, citing an undisclosed medical condition among other reasons. "'Extremely pretty hair' was diagnosed along with 'terminal douchebaggery'" Edwards, a former U.S. senator from North Carolina, faces six felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from the nearly $1 million paid by two donors to help hide and care for his pregnant mistress, Rielle Hunter, during his 2008 run for the White House. "I am only guilty in one of the Two Americas™ - I demand the trial be shifted to the Other America" The trial is set to begin Jan. 30, but Edwards' attorneys said in a motion that they don't have enough time to prepare for such a complex case and that failure to delay the trial "would be likely to result in a miscarriage of justice." like his miscarriage of a campaign, wedding, honor, dignity, and ethics, but then again - he's a lawyer, and a Democrat Information about the medical condition was provided to the court under seal, according to the motion. Obama's crew could get that unsealed. Like opponent's divorce records. Just saying... |

#9 "I thought guys like him could only catch it off of toilet seats." I guess he could, Thing, but wouldn't that be an awfully uncomfortable place to have sex? |

#5 I dunno. It's just a more colorful way of saying sociopathic egomania. It sounds like someone's jealous of my naturally silky and shiny hair. |

#4 They're always hale and hearty when they're doing what they're doing. As soon as they're caught and hauled up in front of a judge they develop all sorts of serious medical problems. Fortunately the federal corrections system has a respectable prison hospital. |
