About a week ago, I noted that John Edwards, the former senator and Vice-Presidential candidate who was under serious consideration to be Attorney General, had been revealed as a serial liar who was leading a double life with a campaign aide at the same time his wife was battling incurable cancer, http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/34963767/ns/today-today_people/?GT1=43001.  I said then that we should be grateful for the merely clueless Eric Holder.

Today comes word that Edwards is in a sex tape, no less, with his mistress, http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/35145215/ns/today-today_people/?GT1=43001.  I mean, this guy is fifty-six years old.  And doing a sex tape?  Those who believe that Barack Obama is the most self-involved man in public life need seriously to reconsider their position.

On the other hand, as Mr. Holder gets more and more dug in on his decision to give jihadist warriors Miranda warnings and all the other rights of standard criminal defendants,  it's harder and harder to be grateful on any account for his tenure at the Justice Department.
